The Bundiyarra Aboriginal Community Aboriginal Corporation web site lists Nharnu among 'some of' the Wajarri A39 dialects, the others being Birdungu A40, Mileura A114, Nhugarn A71, Byro A113 and Ngunuru A112.
Marmion (1996:6-7) does not include Nharnu in his description of Wajarri A39 dialects (MS 4096), but notes that it is definitely a distinct variety of Wajarri, though one that he only heard about after completing his honours thesis (Marmion 2015 p.c.).
spoken in the far north-east of Wajarri country, in the area north-west of Meekatharra, perhaps up around the small community of Yulga Jinna (Marmion 2015 p.c.)
