Nhuwala
{{Short description|Indigenous Australian people of Western Australia}}
The Nhuwala are an Aboriginal Australian people of the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
Language
Where Nhuwala fits into the classification of Australian Aboriginal languages has not yet been ascertained with absolute certainty due to lack of data, though the working assumption is that it belongs to the Ngayarta family.{{sfn|Dench|1987|p=13}}{{sfn|Koch|2004|p=37}}
Country
According to Norman Tindale, the Nhuwala tribal lands covered an estimated {{convert|2200|sqmi|order=flip}}, approximately along the coastal plain, and extending inland some {{convert|40|mi|order=flip}}, from the vicinity of Cape Preston, close to the area where the Fortescue River flows into the Indian Ocean, southwest from Onslow. The hinterland reaches stopped short of the Thalanyji territory at the Ashburton River.{{sfn|Tindale|1974|p=254}}
