Wergaia is an indigenous Australian language group in the Wimmera region of north-Western Victoria. 20 clans made up the Wergaia
language, which consisted of four distinct dialects: Wudjubalug/Wotjobaluk; Djadjala/Djadjali; Buibadjali; Biwadjali. Wergaia
was apparently a dialect of the Wemba Wemba language. The people were known as the Maligundidj, which means the people of
the Mallee country, referring to the mallee eucalypt bushland which covers much of their territory. Before European settlement
in the nineteenth century, the Wergaia-occupied the area that included Lake Hindmarsh, Lake Albacutya, Pine Plains Lake, Lake
Werringrin, Lake Corong, Warracknabeal, Beulah, Hopetoun, Dimboola, Ouyen, Yanac, Hattah Lakes and the Wimmera River. |
