Classification

Andjingith may also be known by the following names: Anjingid, Andjingid, Andjingith, Adyingid.[1]

Tindale (1974) says that Winduwinda is a cover term for twelve or more small groups each with a name terminating in '-ngit'. This suggests that Andjingith might be a Winduwinda group name, despite Tindale not listing it.[4]
