Comment
Comments: 
Capell (1963) lists this as a Wulamba (a name given to the cultural area of N.E. Arnhem Land, called Murngin by Warner) dialect. Oates and Oates (1970:224) lists Djamandja (N116.H) as a name only listed in AIAS files, and in her later work Oates (1975:288) deletes Dajamandja saying it is a children's word for 'work'.

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).
