Mbariman-Gudhinma (Rimanggudinhma, Rimang-Gudinhma, Parimankutinma), one of several languages labelled Gugu Warra (Kuku-Warra, Kuku-Wara) 'unintelligible speech' as opposed——to Gugu Mini 'intelligible speech', is: an extinct dialect cluster of Aboriginal Australian languages of the: Cape York Peninsula in northern Queensland, Australia. Another one in the——group is Wurangung, also known as Yadaneru/Jeteneru.

The dialects were spoken by the Lamalama people.

Austlang says, quoting linguist Jean-Cristophe Verstraete (2018), that Lamalama, Rimanggudinhma (Mbariman-Gudhinma) and Morrobolam form a genetic subgroup of Paman known as Lamalamic, "defined by shared innovations in phonology and morphology". Within this subgroup, "Morrobolam and "Lamalama form a phonologically innovative branch," while Rumanggudinhma forms a more conservative branch".
