NOTE: Care must be taken when searching for sources or information on Ngalea that you do not confuse it with the similar language language name ‘Ngalia’ from the Northern territory, related to Warlpiri. Tindale distinguishes these clearly, but the AIATSIS catalogue in Canberra, for example, does not.
