What Mob Is That?

Anguthimri


The AIATSIS Map of Indigenous Australia places the Anguthimri (a.k.a. Jupangati, Angadimi with numerous other synonyms and variations) north of Weipa on Cape York Peninsula's west coast, with the Yupangathi to their north, the Teppathiggi and Luthigh to the east and the Awngthim to the south.

Norman Tindale's Aboriginal Tribes of Australia suggests Jupangati as the better term in a complex ethnography and allocates them around 1300 square kilometres south of the Batavia River, extending as far as Duyfken Point and Nomenade Creek (Pine River). Tindale's listing of synonyms and alternatives includes the Wimarangga on the north side of Albatross Bay and the Batjana as hordes having the status of small tribes.

Numerous other synonyms and variations include Adumakwithi, Baatjana, Bakwithi, Bwinitanikwithi, Jupangati, Lwipanadjini, Wimaranga, Anggadimi, Angudimi, Angutimi, Gautundi, Mbadjana, Mbahjana, Mbakudi, Mbugudi, Mpakwithi, Rakudi, Yupngayth, Awngthim, Yuupngati, Yupangati, Yupungati, Yupnget, Yupun gatti, Yopngadi, Nggerikudi, Nggirikudi, Ngerikudi, Nigger ikudi, Ra:kudi, Angadimi, Batjana, Mbatyana, Ba:tyana, Wimarangga, Wimarango and Wimmarango.

Anguthimri also refers to an extinct Paman language formerly spoken between the mouth of the Mission River and the Pennefather River and west as far as Duyfken Point. The name is not a synonym for Awngthim, although their similarity has sometimes caused confusion. Related dialects include Alngith, Tjungundji, Yupungathi, Mpakwithi, and Wimaranga.
