Comment
Comments: 
Anderson (1996) equates the term Kuku-Yalanji Y78 (or his use of this term) with Koko-yanyu (Y92) and Koko-Yalunyu in McConnell (1939-1940). It is not clear whether Anderson is using the term Kuku-Yanyu to refer to a linguistic variety. Patz (2002) does not mention Kuku-Yalunyu in her study on Kuku Yalanji Y78.

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).
