Wulguru, (also known as Manbara, Manbarra, Korambelbara, Mun ba rah, Nyawaygi or Wulgurukaba) is an Australian Aboriginal language, now extinct, that was spoken by the Wulgurukaba (or Manbarra) people around the area around present day Townsville, Queensland, on the east coast of Australia. The range of Wulguru dialects known to have been around the area include two varieties mentioned from Palm Island, two from the Cleveland Bay area, and various dialects from Townsville.{{Cite web |last=Crump |first=Des |date=2020-12-28 |title=Language of the Week: Week Thirty-One - Wulgurukaba |url=https://www.slq.qld.gov.au/blog/language-week-week-thirty-one-wulgurukaba |access-date=2023-11-30 |website=State Library Of Queensland |language=en}}{{Cite web |last= |date=2019-07-26 |title=Y135: WULGURUKABA |url=https://collection.aiatsis.gov.au/austlang/language/y135 |access-date=2023-11-30 |website=AIASIS Collection |language=en}}
