Comment
Comments: 
Injinoo Ikya Y238 (Injinoo Speak) is the language name used to describe three language varieties Angkamuthi Y7, Atambaya (Y183) and Yadhaykanu Y8; Injinoo Ikya refers to the same language as Uradhi Y184, a name not used by the community. Crowley coined Uradhi as a language and a dialect name in his description of Uradhi Y184, Yadhaykenu Y8, Angkamuthi Y7 and Atampaya (Y183) dialects (1983:308). The non-coastal Angkamuthi of the Jardine River were alternatively called Yampaghutyanu (leaf people) or Utudhanamu (scrub dwellers) (Crowley 1983:310).

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).
