Minkin is an extinct Australian Aboriginal language perhaps a language isolate of northern Australia. It was spoken in the area around Burketown on the southern coast of the Gulf of Carpentaria in an area that contains the headwaters of the Leichhardt River.The classification of Minkin is uncertain primarily due to a lack of data. It has been suggested that it may have been related to the Yiwaidjan or Tankic language families.
