Ngarluma and Kariyarra are members of a dialect continuum, which is a part of the Ngayarda language group of Western Australia. This continuum is one part of the larger Pama–Nyungan language family. Some sources suggest that an extinct dialect, Jaburara was a third member of the continuum. However, while it is clear that Jaburara had a distinct identity – which has been obscured partly by a collapse in the numbers of Jaburara speakers during the late 19th century – it is generally regarded as a sub-dialect of Ngarluma. Conversely, there is also some evidence that Jaburara may have been a sub-dialect of Martuthunira (see below). While Ngarluma and Kariyarra, as parts of a continuum, are mutually intelligible, they are considered distinct languages by their speakers, reflecting the fact that most speakers are members of the Ngarluma and Kariyarra peoples. As such they may be regarded as a single, pluricentric language. Under Carl von Brandenstein's 1967 classification scheme, Ngarluma was classed as a Coastal Ngayarda (or Ngaryarta) language, but the separation of the group into Coastal and Inland groups is no longer considered valid.
