Madhi-Madhi, also known as Muthimuthi or Madi Madi,[3] is an Indigenous Australian language spoken by the Muthi Muthi Aboriginal people of New South Wales.[4] It is also known as Madhi Madhi, Madi Madi, Bakiin, Mataua, Matimati, Matthee matthee, Moorta Moorta, Mudhi Mudhi, Muthimuthi, Muti muti, Muttee Muttee, Madimadi, Mutte Mutte, or Madi madi.[5]
