Comment
Comments: 
According to Crowley (1981:148), there are several Anguthimri speaking groups, one of which is Wimaranga (Y23). Crowley describes Anguthimri spoken by the Mpakwithi Y186 group, and says that because of a lack of speakers, it is not possible to check dialectal differences among the various Anguthimri-speaking groups. There are recordings on Wimarangga made by Capell (CAPELL_A01 - 00312A and CAPELL_A01).

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).
