Gkuthaarn, also rendered Kuthant, Kutanda and other variant spellings, is an extinct Paman language of the Cape York Peninsula, Queensland, Australia. It also known as Karundi/Garandi (and variant spellings), but the Garandi language may be a separate dialect.
Norman Tindale also assigned the name Kareldi, but this is not confirmed by others. [2] Current sources refer to the Gkuthaarn people. [3] [4]
However, according to Lauriston Sharp, Kotanda was also used for the now extinct Kalibamu, and Karandi/Garandi ( AUSTLANG G32) was a different local group, [2] and AIATSIS agrees. [5]
Other variant spellings included in AUSTLANG are: [2]
