Comment
Comments: 
Breen (2006 p.c.) concludes Marrulha (L33), Mithaka L34 and Marunuda L49 are the same language, but he does not know whether they are alternative names or distinct varieties (dialects) of the same language.

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).
