Wadikali (also spelt Wardikali, Wadigali, Nadikali) was an Australian Aboriginal language spoken by the Wadikali people of northwestern New South Wales.
[edit] Classification
Wadikali is closely related to Malyangapa and Yardliyawarra, which together form the Yarli subgroup of the Pama-Nyungan languages according to Hercus & Austin (2004). Dixon (2002) regards the three as dialects of a single language.
