Wagaya language

[3] The linguist Gavan Breen recorded two dialects of the language, an Eastern and a Western variety, incorporating their description in his 1974 grammar.

[4] Wagaya belongs to the Warluwarric (Ngarna) subgroup of the Pama–Nyungan family of Australian languages.

[5] These two groups together form the southern branch of Ngarna/Warluwarric, to which the discontinuous Yanyuwa is related at the uppermost level of the whole subgroup.

Work on proto-Warluwarric has been done by Catherine Koch (1989),[6] Daniel Brammall (1991),[7] Margaret Carew (1993),[8] and Gavan Breen (2004).
