Antekerrepenhe is an Arandic language C48 variety. Wilkins describes Antekerrepenhe (C12) as a dialect of Eastern Arrernte and provides an overview of the Arandic languages, with two major sub-groups: Artwe (~Urtwe) composed of Upper Arrernte (Eastern Arrernte, Western Arrernte C47, Alyawarr C14 and Anmatyerr C8.1, and Lower Arrernte C29 (Lower South Arandic). The other major subgroup is called Artweye, with one member Kaytetye C13 (in Henderson 2013:12).
The language name is constructed with 'antekerre 'west' with the ablative suffix -penh' (Breen, 1982 p2).
See also Arrernte C8, Pertame C46; Lower Arrernte C29; Ayerrerenge G12 and Akarre C28.
Tarlton Range east to Toko Range; headwaters of Field River; down the Hay River but southwestern range uncertain, probably to about Lake Caroline but limits depend at different times on flow of stream in flood (Tindale 1974).
