Worimi, or Gadjang (also spelt Kattang, Kutthung, Gadhang, Gadang, Gathang) is an Australian Aboriginal language. It is the traditional language of the Worimi people, whose descendants now speak English.
Classification
Worimi is most closely related to Awabakal, in the Yuin–Kuric group of Pama–Nyungan.
Bowern (2011) considers Gadjang, Worimi, and Birrpayi to be separate languages.
