Comment
Comments: 
Oates (1975) says Jardwa (S27) is included in Djadjawurung S31.1 by Wurm. Clark (1990:236) says that Mathews' notes suggest three dialects: the southern dialect, Nundadjali S87; the Horsham dialect, Jabbadjali / Yardwadjali (S27); and the Lake Buloke dialect, Jagwadjali S84. Clark goes on to discuss the uncertain status of Mardidjali S16, meaning 'abrupt' or 'hard to understand' speech, which he says is probably a 'dialect of Jardwadjali or possibly Wergaia S27' (p. 237). In his later work, Clark (2005:14) includes all four varieties - Jardwadjali, Nundadjali, Jagwadjali and Mardidjali - as dialects of the same language, which he terms Jardwadjali (thus using Jardwadjali as both language and dialect name).
