Jandai is an Australian Aboriginal language of the Quandamooka people who live around the Moreton Bay region of Queensland.[1][2] Other names and spellings are Coobenpil; Djandai; Djendewal; Dsandai; Goenpul; Janday; Jendairwal; Jundai; Koenpel; Noogoon; Tchandi.[3][4] Traditionally spoken by members of the Goenpul people, it has close affinities with Nunukul language (spoken by the Nunukul people) and Gowar language (spoken by the Ngugi people).[1] Today now only few members still speak it.
