Comment
Comments: 
According to Blake (1979:183), Pitta-Pitta G6, Ringu-Ringu G7, Mayawarli L40, Kunkalanya G3, Ngulupulu, Karanya L32, and Rakaya G4 are dialects of a language for which there is no obvious name. Tindale (1974) treats Ngulubulu (G40) as a language name - it is the language spoken by the Karanja L32 group. Breen apparently collected data (Breen PMS 2929).

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).
