Comment
Comments: 

MacPherson (1904) recognises two groups within the area described for Anewan D24 by Mathews (1903). According to MacPherson the Himberrong D69 and the Inuwon could understand each other, but not the Enneewin D64 (in Crowley (1976:22-23).

Crowley notes the uncertain identity of these names, being 'either closely related dialects ... or sub-tribal units', but uses the term Nganjaywana D24 as a cover term for the two.

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).
