Wuliwuli (also known as Wuli Wuli or Wulli Wulli) was an Aboriginal language from Australia. It belonged to the large Pama–Nyungan language family. The Wulli Wulli people used to speak this language in Queensland, Australia.
Sadly, Wuliwuli is now an extinct language. This means no one speaks it anymore as their everyday language. The Wulli Wulli language area was in the North Burnett Regional Council in Queensland. This included the town of Eidsvold. It also covered areas around the Auburn River, like Walloon, Camboon, and Hawkwood. Wuliwuli is thought to be a type, or dialect, of the Wakka Wakka language.
