It has sometimes been assumed to be a dialect of Umbugarla,[1] but it is poorly attested; the only evidence to go on is that neighbouring peoples reported that it was similar to Umbugarla, as well as some sentences and vocabulary.[2][3] It was spoken to the west of the South Alligator River, between the Ga'baarlgu and the South Alligator River, in Kakadu, Northern Territory.[1]

There were two speakers recorded in 1975, and one in 1981, but none since then, on the AUSTLANG database.[1] The last speaker, Butcher Knight, died sometime between 1987 and 2001.
