布拉拉语(Burarra)是阿纳姆地一种由布拉拉族使用的澳大利亚原住民语言，有几种方言。
分类
布拉拉语不是帕马-恩永甘语系语言。它与古尔-戈尼语等几种语言构成布拉拉语族。[5][6][7]
分布
布拉拉族来自阿纳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边利物浦河河口的的曼宁立达（Maningrida）镇。[5][8]
方言
Glasgow (1994)分出3种方言：Gun-nartpa (来自Cadell河流域的Mu-golarra/Mukarli族群)、Gun-narta (Blythe河河口西侧An-barra)和Gun-narda (Blythe河东岸Martay)。这些名称都来自方言的指示代词“那”。她还注释道后两个方言(Gun-narta和Gun-narda) 常被划到一起，并被其东部邻接族群称为“布拉拉”，自称则是“Gu-jingarliya”(“语言/用舌头”)。
Green (1987)分出2种方言：Gun-nartpa和布拉拉话(Gu-jingarliya)，但注释道布拉拉话使用者中存在显著的方言差异。
音系
辅音
| 唇音 | 齿龈音 | 卷舌音 | 硬颚音 | 软腭音 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 强塞音 | p | t | ʈ | c | k |
| 弱塞音 | b | d | ɖ | ɟ | g |
| 鼻音 | m | n | ɳ | ɲ | ŋ |
| 边音 | l | ɭ | |||
| R音 | r | ɽ/ɹ | |||
| 滑音 | w | j |
多数情况下塞音的强弱分别对应清浊。[10]这种情况下，塞音通过口内压峰值和持阻时间区分。强辅音的持阻一般更长，口内压也更高，弱辅音则有擦音或近音的自由变体。[9]
元音
布拉拉语有5个元音。
| 前 | 央 | 后 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 闭 | i | u | |
| 半开 | ɛ (e) | o | |
| 开 | ɐ (a) |
元音可以实现为：
/i/：半闭前元音[e]或[ɪ]
/a/：开央元音或schwa
/ɛ/：[ɛ]或[e]
/o/：[o]或[ɔ]
/u/：schwa，半开后圆唇元音[ö]的低化，或[ʊ][9]
语法
布拉拉语是一种前缀综合语。动词可以通过前缀实现主语和宾语之间的互指，有时和语态的屈折。有几个动词可以表达体、复合动作和使役。[5]
名词有变格，有4个类(an-、jin-、mun-和gun-)。[5][8]
