Comment:
Bandjalang (3897-bdy) = Severely Endangered (40 percent certain, based on the evidence available) (Attitudes towards 'sharing' the language with whites have varied from community to community. One community, near Coraki, has generally been antagonistic towards white - unless, understandably, they were trusted friends with an understanding of the culture. Others, both as individuals and as groups, have been keen for the language - and some cultural activities also - to be preserved, and to be taught to any interested person, irrespective of race.)
