Comment
Comments: 
Oates and Oates (1970) list Malardordo as a Wulamba (a name given to the cultural area of N.E. Arnhem Land, called Murngin by Warner) dialect only listed in AIAS files, but in her later work Oates (1975:388) deletes it since there is no information. Warner (1937) lists Malardordo as the name of the people (meaning 'palm tree basket people') who speak the language called Lummami N147. Schebeck (2001:93) reports that this is a name for Lamami N147.

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).
