'''Dyaberdyaber''' (Jabirr-Jabirr) is a Western [[Nyulnyulan languages|Nyulnyulan]] language formerly spoken on the coast south of [[Beagle Bay (Western Australia)|Beagle Bay]] in [[Western Australia]]. Earlier sources spelled the name DjaberrDjaberr or Dyaberdyaber; the contemporary accepted spelling is Jabirr-Jabirr, which reflects the spelling conventions of languages of the Kimberley region<ref>Bowern, C. 2012 "A Grammar of Bardi". Berlin: Mouton</ref>
The language is closely related to [[Nyulnyul]] and probably close enough to be mutually intelligible.<ref>McGregor, W and B Stokes. Classifying the Nyulnyulan languages. in N.
