The '''Wik ''' or '''Middle Paman''' languages are a family of [[genetic relationship|genetically related]] [[Australian Aboriginal languages]] spoken on the [[Cape York]] peninsula, [[Queensland]], [[Australia]]. |
|||
Most Wik dialects have names beginning with the prefix ''Wik-'', and some can use either ''Wik-'' or ''Kugu-''/''Kuku-''. |
|||
==Classification== |
|||
[[R. M. W. Dixon]] (2002) places the Wik languages as a subgroup within the [[north Cape York subgroup]], along with the [[Northern Paman subgroup]] and [[Umpila language|Umpila]]. |
|||
As is the case with many Australian languages, a traditional name exists only for each tribal [[dialect]], and there is no name for [[language]]s in the linguistic sense. Additionally, linguists sometimes differ as to how the dialects should be grouped to form languages. [[Ethnologue]] regards each dialect as a distinct language. |
