The Pantyikali (Bandjigali) dialect, also called Baarundji (meaning the people of the Paroo River) or Weyneubulcoo (Wanyuparlku, Wanyiwalku), is a dialect of the Paakantyi language. Pantyikali is spoken in New South Wales, Australia, northwest, north, and west of White Cliffs. In 2005, it was not extinct, with four speakers reported.

The Pantyikali people of the Paakantyi were extensively studied and photographed in the 19th century by Frederic Bonney, the owner of Momba Station.{{cite book|last1=Hope|first1=Jeannette and Lindsay, Robert|title=The people of the Paroo River : Frederic Bonney's photographs|date=2010|publisher=Dept. of Environment, Climate Change and Water NSW|location=Sydney South, N.S.W.|isbn=9781742323282}}
