Tjurabalan are members of the Walmajarri, Jaru or Nyininy language groups.

The area includes Gregory Salt Lake (Paruku) and Sturt Creek (Tjurabalan) and the adjacent portions of the Tanami Desert (Ngaluwan) and Gardiner Range (Lirrankarni).

The evidence is that the highest degree of connection is derived from what the Tjurabalan People refer to as the "Jurapalan (Tingarri) law".
