Comment
Comments: 
Oates lists Gigi under Manggalili N137 (1975:312). Schebeck says that Geki (N125) is a name given to various clans in Blue Mud Bay country including Djapu N 145, Mangalili N137, Madarrpa N111 and Marrakulu N142 as a 'common ceremonial name' (2001:91). For Yolngu languages 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).
