There are several Anguthimri speaking groups: Wimaranga, Mpakwithi, Bwinitanikwithi, Baatjana, Adumakwithi, Lwipanadjini, and Bawtjathi. Crowley describes Anguthimri spoken by the Mpakwithi Y186 group, and says that because of a lack of informants, it is not possible to check to what extent dialectal differences existed among the various Anguthimri-speaking groups (Crowley, 1981:148).
In this database among Anguthimri-speaking groups only Mpakwithi Y186 and Wimarangga Y23 groups are separately listed.
