Comment
Comments: 
According to Harvey (PMS 5822), this is one of the languages/dialects which were spoken on the tip of Cobourg Peninsula. Evans (2007 p.c.) says it is probably in a dialectal relationship with Wurrugu N37, Burdinmanduwij N185, and Wurdang N181.

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).
