Comment
Comments: 
Schebeck (2001:93) says that Malarrbartjaray N98 is a Ritharr?u N104 speaking Madarrpa N111 clan, which was originally a Dhuwala N199 speaking clan. Oates (1975:317) similarly lists Malarbardjuradj under Ritharrngu N104 and as a probable Mala name. In this database, Malarbardjuradj is classified in the Ritharrngu sub-group rather than Dhuwala sub-group because of the language now spoken by clan members.

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).
