Comment
Comments: 
According to Glasgow (PMS 656), Manungu means 'hill country' and appears not to refer to a language. Tindale (1974) gives Manunggu as an alternative name of Miwa K44 and describes it as 'a place or district name'. Oates (1975:370) notes that Manungu is 'a local division of the Forrest River' and that 'Capell has some material which shows slight dialectal changes'. Supporting this observation, Capell and Coate (1984:2) explain that 'the terms Walar K45 and Manunggu (K46) refer to sections only of the Forrest River tribes and are not primarily linguistic terms even though they do seem to correspond with dialect variations within the north-eastern section'.
