Comment
Comments: 

Sharpe coined the name Yugambeh - Bundjalung as a cover term for a group of dialects from north - east New South Wales and south - east Queensland (2005) and produced a dictionary (on CDROM) of Yugambeh - Bundjalung in 2013.

Crowley described Njangbal (E75) as a dialect spoken south of Minjangbal E18, at Ballina and the mouth of the Richmond River. His sources include a wordlist in Curr by Ross, and two articles in Science of Man 1903 by Hargrave, also containing short wordlists (1987:150-151).

The Languages Thesaurus previously listed Nyangbal under the code E16, but this is a different dialect Wiyabal.
