History

The name Anguthimri is not a synonym of Awngthim, though due to their similarity they have sometimes been confused.[4] There were several groups speaking Anguthimri or similar dialects, including the Tjungundji, Yupungathi, Mpakwithi, and Wimaranga.[1][2] The Yupungathi language region included the western side of Cape York between Janie Creek and the Pennefather River and Weipa.[5] Tjungundji was traditionally spoken in the region of the Batavia River, Cullen Point, and Janie Creek; and then later, following removals, spoken in the Northern Peninsula Area Region, near New Mapoon, Injinoo, and Cowal Creek communities.[6]
