The Djerait were an indigenous Australian people of the Northern Territory
The Djerait language was said to have been mutually intelligible with that of the Mulluk-Mulluk who spoke a Daly river language, being as distant as ancient Greek dialects were to each other. And it was also said to be interchangeable with that spoken by the Pongaponga.
According to Norman Tindale, the Djerait occupied some of tribal land on the north shores of Anson Bay, extending north to Point Blaze. Neighbouring tribes were the Mulluk-Mulluk, the Madngella the Pongaponga and the Wogait.
The Jesuit missionary Donald Mackillop stated that the Djerait were a "small but intelligent tribe".
