Ngombal
The Ngombal, also known as the Ngumbarl, are an indigenous Australian people of Western Australia.
Language
Adequate documentation of the Ngombal language is lacking, but the evidence suggests it was one of the Nyulnyulan languages, with William McGregor speculating that it may have belonged to the western branch.[1]
Country
In Norman Tindale's estimation, the Ngombal's tribal lands covered some 1,200 square miles (3,100 km2). They were a coastal people with an inland territorial reach of about 30 miles, located between the Djaberadjabera to their north, the Nimanburu to the east, the Yawuru to the southeast and the Djugun to their south.[2][3]

gollark: Also, I can't really visualize much more than simple coloured shapes, and can't visualize past memories as others apparently can.
gollark: I also seem to suffer the lack of autobiographical memory thing, in that I have real trouble remembering past events but am fine with random facts.
gollark: I don't think any system which converts the simple, easy alignment square into an alignment cube or tesseract will be popular.
