Comment
Comments: 

Sutton says Ndrra'ngith (Y39) and Ndrrangith Y202 are distinct from each other (2001:459). Donohue (1991) and ILDB treat Ntrangith (Y39) as referring to the same dialect as Ntrwa'ngayth Y27, following Oates (1975:270).

Tindale says this is one of Winduwinda groups, Winduwinda being a cover term for twelve or more small groups each with a name terminating in '-ngit' (1974:189). Sutton says that the origin of the term Winduwinda appears fundamentally geographical; centering on the Winda Winda Creek area and covering groups with lands between the Archer and Mission Rivers (2001:460).
