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.
Nerang Creek E77 is a dialect from the Upper Nerang Creek region in south east Queensland. The lower reaches of the creek encompass the Southport and Burleigh Heads dialects, see Ngarahgwal E79.
Crowley lists four historical sources of wordlists for this area; the data indicate a high cognate count between Nerang Creek (E77) and Nganduwal E78, but sufficient divergence to exclude it as a variety of Nganduwal. Nerang Creek has a lower but significant cognate count with Yugambeh E17 (1978:148).
