Comment
Comments: 

According to Oates and Oates (1970:199), this is a Wik language regarded as sleeping. Sutton (1978:39) lists Adinda (Y46), quoting Capell (1963).

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).
