Comment
Comments: 
Breen tentatively proposes a 'new' language Mandalgu, a dialect of Gangulu E40 and the only Biri E56 variety which uses 'manda' for for 'go' (2009:249). Breen says that Wadjigu E39 and Tindale's Wadja (1974:186) refer to the same language; he assigns the area Tindale identifies as Wadja to Mandalgu (2009:234).

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).
