Public Comment
"Yan-nhaŋu itself is not a homogeneous language (Bowern 2008). There are six patrilectal or clan varieties; three are Dhuwa, three Yirritja. [...] In addition to the small number of fluent speakers between the ages of 40 and 80 there are approximately 150 heritage owners with patrilineal ancestral connections to Yan-nhaŋu language, land, sea and madayin (sacred paraphernalia), and a further 120 Yirritja Burrara/Yan-nhaŋu (Gamal, Gidjingali, and Anbarra) people with language ownership rights."
