Comment
Comments: 
Sharpe coined the name Yugambeh - Bundjalung as a cover term for a group of dialects from north-east New South Wales and south-east Queensland (2005) and produced a dictionary (on CDROM) of Yugambeh - Bundjalung in 2013. Holmer compiled a short grammar and vocabulary of Manandjali (E76), as described by collaborators at Beaudesert in south-east Queensland; he classified Manandjali as belonging to the Bandjalang group of languages (1983:411). Sharpe described this variety as Beaudesert Yugambeh (Mananjahli) (E76), along with Yugambeh E17 (1995 in Wafer and Lissarrague, 2008:354). Sharpe notes that Manaldjali (E76) is 'claimed to mean "hard, baked ground" a reflection of the dryness of the area ...' (2005:6). Mununjali people use another spelling for the language name: viewed 21/09/2016. Documentation on Bundjalung E12 and Yugambeh E17 may be relevant.

Location information: 
Beaudesert area, Logan River, west of Albert River (Sharpe 2005). The Manandjali language and tribe, of which Beaudesert or the Beaudesert area (with Josephville) is evidently a centre (the word manadjali is commonly used in reference to Beaudesert itself) are located (sometimes as a section within a larger tribe) either on the Logan river (mention was often made of Manandjali as 'Logan river language', spoken up to the head of the Logan river), or to the west of the Albert river (the latter making the boundary between the Manandjali and Balgabari sections) (Holmer 1983).
