Australian Aboriginal language From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Andegerebinha language, also known as Andegerebenha, Andigibinha, Antekerrepenhe and Antekerrepinhe, is an Australian Aboriginal language of the Northern Territory, specifically of the Upper Arrernte language group. It was spoken around the Hay River (east of Alice Springs) and Pituri Creek[4] area. It was spoken by only ten individuals in 1981, five in 2005, and in the 2016 census there were no fluent speakers of the language, so is now classified as dormant.[5]

A study of its sound system was published in 1977 by Gavan Breen,[6] which he revisited in 2001, saying that the phonology is now regarded as similar to Central Arrernte.[7]
