布拉拉語(Burarra)是阿納姆地一種由布拉拉族使用的澳大利亞原住民語言，有幾種方言。
分類
布拉拉語不是帕馬-恩永甘語系語言。它與古爾-戈尼語等幾種語言構成布拉拉語族。[5][6][7]
分佈
布拉拉族來自阿納姆地中部和中北部的Blyth和Cadell河流域，但目前更多人住在更西邊利物浦河河口的的曼寧立達（Maningrida）鎮。[5][8]
方言
Glasgow (1994)分出3種方言：Gun-nartpa (來自Cadell河流域的Mu-golarra/Mukarli族群)、Gun-narta (Blythe河河口西側An-barra)和Gun-narda (Blythe河東岸Martay)。這些名稱都來自方言的指示代詞「那」。她還註釋道後兩個方言(Gun-narta和Gun-narda) 常被劃到一起，並被其東部鄰接族群稱為「布拉拉」，自稱則是「Gu-jingarliya」(「語言/用舌頭」)。
Green (1987)分出2種方言：Gun-nartpa和布拉拉話(Gu-jingarliya)，但註釋道布拉拉話使用者中存在顯著的方言差異。
音系
輔音
| 唇音 | 齒齦音 | 捲舌音 | 硬顎音 | 軟齶音 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 強塞音 | p | t | ʈ | c | k |
| 弱塞音 | b | d | ɖ | ɟ | g |
| 鼻音 | m | n | ɳ | ɲ | ŋ |
| 邊音 | l | ɭ | |||
| R音 | r | ɽ/ɹ | |||
| 滑音 | w | j |
多數情況下塞音的強弱分別對應清濁。[10]這種情況下，塞音通過口內壓峰值和持阻時間區分。強輔音的持阻一般更長，口內壓也更高，弱輔音則有擦音或近音的自由變體。[9]
元音
布拉拉語有5個元音。
| 前 | 央 | 後 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 閉 | i | u | |
| 半開 | ɛ (e) | o | |
| 開 | ɐ (a) |
元音可以實現為：
/i/：半閉前元音[e]或[ɪ]
/a/：開央元音或schwa
/ɛ/：[ɛ]或[e]
/o/：[o]或[ɔ]
/u/：schwa，半開後圓唇元音[ö]的低化，或[ʊ][9]
語法
布拉拉語是一種前綴綜合語。動詞可以通過前綴實現主語和賓語之間的互指，有時和語態的屈折。有幾個動詞可以表達體、複合動作和使役。[5]
名詞有變格，有4個類(an-、jin-、mun-和gun-)。[5][8]
