Nhuwala is an extinct[3] Pama–Nyungan language of Western Australia. Dench (1995) believed there was insufficient data to enable it to be confidently classified, but Bowern & Koch (2004) include it among the Ngayarda languages without proviso.[4]

Names

Alternate names for Nhuwala include Nuala, Ngoala, Noella, Noanamaronga, Nooanamaronga, Jawanmala, Nunkaberi and Noala.[5]
