Comment
Comments: 

Ridley (1875:143) says that Wandandian is the name of a group whose language is Tharumba S56 (in Eades, 1976:4).

Oates (1975:198) also lists Wandanian (S55) under Dharamba S56.

Besold includes Dharumba language material provided by Noleman and Hugany, both of the Wandandian Tribe (Mackenzie in Besold 2013: 40).
