Wiradjuri;[4] many other spellings, see (Wiradjuri) is a Pama–Nyungan language of the Wiradhuric subgroup.

It was the traditional language of the Wiradjuri people of Australia, but had become extinct as a native language by 2009. A progressive revival is underway, with the language being taught in schools. Wiraiari and Jeithi may have been dialects.[5][6] - (Ref- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiradjuri_language)
