Comments: 
Ngarinyman speakers describe varieties of Ngarinyman including Wurlayi (Wurli) (http://dobes.mpi.nl/projects/jaminjung/languages/, viewed on 19/05/17). This is a dialect of Ngarinyman C27 according to McConvell (1980). Documentation on Ngarinyman 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).
