Adithinngithigh is an Australian aboriginal language once spoken in Cape York in Queensland.
There has been some confusion over the name:
<templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />
Given that Aditinngithigh and ‘Arritinngithigh’ seem to have been identified with only one estate each and the names are so similar, it might be tempting to consider their distinct spellings a mere artifact of the recording process, but the names are indeed distinct and moreover the relevant estate are noncontiguous and owned by different people.[2]
However, it is not clear how distinct the two varieties are.
