Aghu Tharrnggala was an extinct language from the Paman language family. It was once spoken in the Cape York Peninsula area of Queensland, Australia. An extinct language is one that no longer has any native speakers.

People in the area sometimes called Aghu Tharrnggala by another name, Gogo Mini. This name means 'good speech'.

Aghu Tharrnggala was closely connected to another language called Kuku-Thaypan. These two languages likely shared a common history. Researchers are still learning about how Aghu Tharrnggala might have been related to other languages like Takalak.
