Wamin , also known as Agwamin or Ewamian , is an Australian Aboriginal language of North Queensland spoken by the Ewamian people .[1] Etheridge region , in the areas around Einasliegh , Georgetown , and Mount Surprise .[2] [3]
Alternative names and dialects [ edit ]
The language of Ewamian people , now undergoing revival,[4] Peter Sutton in the early 1970s, explained that Agwamin and Wamin were originally two mutually intelligible dialects, one 'heavy' and one 'light'.[5] [6] [7]
The language of the Wakaman people, Wagaman, is thought by some linguists to be a variant of the mutually intelligible Agwamin and Wamin languages.[8] [9] [10]
