Comment
Comments: 
Ngarad is almost certain to be a variant of Ngarkat S9. Oates (1975:185) says Ngarat was in Wurm's 1970 classification, but Wurm (1972) does not list it (though he does list Ngarkat). This may mean that Wurm decided not to treat Ngarat as a language name, though the reference is dubious: Oates's 1975 bibliography lists Wurm 1970 as Languages of Australia and Tasmania, but this is Wurm 1972. Either way, there is insufficient evidence of Ngarad as a language name. Consequently, Ngarad is listed as unconfirmed.

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).
