Comment: Wafer and Lissarrague (2008: 221-222) question whether Wiradjuri has always been used to refer to ‘the whole language spoken in the area from Dubbo and Mudge in the north almost to Albury in the south, from Bathurst in the east almost to Hay in the west’. They identify Wirraayaraay D65* as a related dialect, a northern dialect but leave the question whether Tindale’s Jeithi D58* refers to a separate dialect of Wiradjuri or not unresolved.
Note: Austin (1980:169) says that Wira:yarra:y is the name by which the Wiradjuri of Central New South Wales seem to have been known to their northern neighbours.
