Comment
Comments: 
This is probably not a language name. Oates and Oates (1970:120) say this is possibly part of Wangganguru L27. According to Hercus, Belt's word list, which is indexed with Waidjinga in Mura, is of Lower Aranda C29.

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).
