Comment
Comments: 

According to McConvell (2006 p.c.) Jiyilawung (K34) was a language located between Miriwung K29, Jaminjung N18, and Ngarinyman C27 and has been extinct for 100 years or so.

Jiyiljurrung (K34) descendants now speak Gurindji C20 and are considered Gurindji (McConvell in Sutton 1995:109).
