Damin (Demiin in the practical orthography of Lardil) is a ceremonial language register formerly used by the advanced initiated men of the Aboriginal Lardil (Leerdil in the practical orthography) and Yangkaal peoples of northern Australia. Both peoples inhabit islands in the Gulf of Carpentaria, the Lardil on Mornington Island, the largest island of the Wellesley Islands, and the Yangkaal on the Forsyth Islands.
