Comment
Comments: 
Oates and Oates (1970:224) list Miliwuru as a Wulamba dialect listed only in AIAS files. Miliwuru could be the same as Miliwurrwurr in Schebeck (2001:94), which he describes as a name for Rirradji?u N140 and Bararr?u N129. For Yolngu language groups see Yolngu Matha N230

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).
