Yarli (Yardli) was a dialect cluster of Australian Aboriginal languages spoken in northwestern New South Wales, individually Malyangapa (Maljangapa), Yardliyawarra, and Wadikali (Wardikali, Wadigali). Bowern (2002) notes Karenggapa as part of the area, but there is little data.
Classification
The three varieties are very close. Hercus & Austin (2004) classify them as the Yarli branch of the Pama–Nyungan family. Dixon (2002) regards the three as dialects of a single language. Bowern (2002) excludes them from the Karnic languages, where they had sometimes been classified.
