Comment
Comments: 
This group is included in Crowley's description of Uradhi Y184. Crowley lists Kuta, Pantyinamu, Yantaykenu, Ithuntya and Intyiinughutyanu as the local groups of Yumukuntyi, some of which had their own dialects (a practical orthography used here, based on Crowley's phonemic forms with phonetic font). Kuta is apparently the term used by Torres Strait Islanders to refer to mainland people (1983:311). Documentation on Uradhi Y184 and its dialects may be relevant.

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).
