This is the data, but the template used omits the offspring. Anyone capable of fixing this?

Nishidani, This (above) might be what you want. It is a bit hard to tell. Cheers · · · Peter (Southwood) ^(talk): 19:44, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

On the other hand, this (below) is what is in the reference cited (Matthews 1900):

There's clearly some inconsistencies in the data as shown in the article right now. Specifically, these Offspring sections don't appear (in any spelling) in those of their parents:

• Tanagree
• Chingaree

Was there a typo in the source(s)?

Also, as Mathews used a fairly consistent orthography later on, in which vowels took "Italian" values, my guess is that these two sections ought to be:

• Tungaree
• Chungalee

respectively. yoyo (talk) 05:35, 25 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, what do we know of Mathews' informants for this data? Since his many field researches were in south-eastern Australia, and he relied on many correspondents e.g. Strehlow for data on Aboriginal groups further from home, do the sources (1900 and 1908) - or perhaps any of his notebooks - name his informants? yoyo (talk) 05:52, 25 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
