The Wik languages are a subdivision of the Paman languages consisting of sixteen languages, all spoken on the Cape York Peninsula of Queensland, Australia. This grouping was first proposed by R. M. W. Dixon.[1]
Each of the Kugu-Muminh dialects may have the prefix Wik- instead of Kugu-. Wik Paach is not a Wik language despite its name.
The languages are as follows; often various dialects are considered separate languages:
- Wik
- Wik-Ngathan (incl. Wik-Ngatharr dialect)
- Wik-Me'nh
- Wik-Mungkan
- Wik-Ompoma (Ambama) Template:Extinct
- Kugu Nganhcara (incl. Gugu Uwanh dialect) Template:Extinct
- Ayabadhu Template:Extinct
- Pakanha Template:Extinct
The Flinders Island language and Barrow Point language were apparently Wik.
