Comment
Comments: 
According to Laughren et al (1996), Wawulya is the south-western dialect of Warlpiri C15. However, Nash (2007 p.c.) says that he has not heard of Wawulya as a speech variety apart from reading it in Laughren et al (1996). He has heard of it referred to as Dreaming around The Granites and suspects that the descendants of that area might identify themselves as 'Wawulya'.

Speaker numbers were measured differently across the censuses and various other sources listed in AUSTLANG. You are encouraged to refer to the sources.

Speaker numbers for ‘NILS 2004’ and ‘2005 estimate’ come from 'Table F.3: Numbers of speakers of Australian Indigenous languages (various surveys)' in 'Appendix F NILS endangerment and absolute number results' in McConvell, Marmion and McNicol 2005, pages 198-230 (PDF, 2.5MB).
