The Wagiman language is notable for its complex system of verbal morphology, which remains under-investigated, its possession of a cross-linguistically rare part of speech called a coverb, its complex predicates and for its ability to derive verbs from coverb roots, which is a unique feature among Australian languages. Wagiman is a language isolate, but may still bear a remote relation with its neighbouring languages but this is yet to be demonstrated. waq waq WAQ false WAQ 1950-05-09 WAQ
