Thiin is an Australian Aboriginal language of Western Australia.

Classification

Thiin is usually placed in the Mantharta subgroup of Southwest Pama–Nyungan languages, though Carl Georg von Brandenstein's 1967 classification^[1] had Thiin as a Coastal Ngayarda language.

Thiin is similar to Jiwarli, and the two are sometimes regarded as a single language.
