<b>Description:</b>
 
Yir-Yoront (several other names; see below) is an Australian Aboriginal language spoken in coastal southwestern Cape York Peninsula, Queensland. It is the traditional language of the Yir-Yoront people, most of whom now speak English.
Yir-Yoront is written hyphenated as a way of indicating that the syllable following the hyphen is stressed. In the standard orthography, it is correctly spelt Yirr-Yorront (with "rr" to indicate a tapped liquid). There is a valid alternative pronunciation with stress on the first syllable; this can be written YirrqYorront. Other spellings encountered include Yir Yoront (with a space) and Jir Joront.

Yirrk-Thangalkl is also known as Yirrk-Mel (Yir Mel in the writings of the anthropologist Lauriston Sharp).
