Comment
Comments: 

Following Hercus, Wafer and Lissarrague divide the Darling River language into two groups: Northern Darling River or Paakantyi D12, Paaruntyi D47, Kurnu D25, Nhaawuparlku (Nhaawarlku) D19 and Milpulo D59; and Southern Darling River includes Southern Paakantyi D61, Wilyaali (~Wilyakali) D16, Thaangkali (~Thangkakali) D14, Pulaali (Pulakali) D11, Wanyuparlku (~Wanyiwalku) D21, Pantyikali D17, Marrawarra D6, Parrintyi D48; (2008: 263-267). 

The language name is contstructed with 'Paaru' the Paroo River and the suffix '-ntyi' 'belonging to, originating from' (Hercus, 1982 in Wafer & Lissarrague 2008: 266).

Mrs Hannah Quayle provided Wurm with grammatical information and discussed traditional information with Jeremy Beckett (Hercus, 1993:11).

Note that Hercus' Paakantyi grammar and dictionary is mainly on Southern Paakantyi D61 but includes PaaRuntyi vocabulary. The rhotic (r sound) in the language name is a retroflex glide (represented here by a capital letter) (Hercus, 1993:13).
