Comment
Comments: 

Dhäpuyngu (N116.E) is a Yolngu clan affiliated with Dhuwal N198 language and Dhuwa moiety; Schebeck indicates it has not been recorded, and that Dhäpuyngu (N116.E) people are said to have emigrated to Groote Eylandt some time ago (2001:16, 17).

Dhäpuyngu is also called bottom Dhurili N122 which comprises Marrangu N116.Q, Marrakulu N142 and Dhäpuyngu (Schebeck 2001:89).

See also Wurunggugu N133; different from Dhäpuyngu N116.D. For Yolngu language groups see Yolngu Matha N230.

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).
