Wik-Ngatharr dialect

Australian Language Families

Wik-Ngatharr, also called Wik-Alken or Wik-Elken, is a Paman language of the Pama-Nyungan family spoken on Cape York Peninsula, Queensland, Australia, by the Wik-Ngatharr people. It had about 86 native speakers recorded in 1981 and functions as a co-dialect of Wik-Ngathan, with a more distant relationship to the other Wik languages of the peninsula.
