Comment
Comments: 
Ogh Alungu Y199 is classified as belonging to the Alaya-Athima language group, a set of initial-dropping languages not closely related to others of this type in the area. Alpher describes them in regional blocks, with Ogh Alungu in the north-eastern end in the upper reaches and headwaters of the Morehead and Hann Rivers. Other members of this group include Awu Alaya (Kuku Thaypan) Y84; Aghu Tharrnggala Y65; Awu Arungu / Awu Alwang / Agu Aloja Y219; Kuku Mini Y94; Ogh Angkula 197; Ikarranggal Y198; Takalak Y125; Ogh Awarrangg Y201; Ongunyjan Y206; Kokiny Y188; Athima Y237 (2016:41-42).
