Comment
Comments: 

This is a dialect of the same language as Yandruwandha L18  (Breen, 2004: 4); it forms part of the Karnic language group (Hercus 1994: 10, and Breen, 2004: 4). Documentation on Yandruwandha L18 may be relevant.

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).
