Comment
Comments: 
Oates (1975:279) says that this is said to be half Gandju Y44 and half Munkan Y57. She does not provide the source of her information. It may be an alternative name for Doodj (Y37 (McConnel (1939) spelt it 'Totj'), whose location is relatively close to both Kaanju / Kaantju Y44 and Wik Mungkan Y57. However there is not enough information to determine this.

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).
