Dhuwal (also called Duala, Dual, or Wulamba) is an Australian Aboriginal language. In 1983, it was spoken by about 500 people in Australia's Northern Territory.^[1] Now it is spoken by about 3,650 individuals according to Ethnologue.

Dhay'yi is generally listed as a separate language, but Dixon (2002) says it's close enough to be considered a dialect.
