Wergaia or Werrigia is an indigenous Australian language in the Wimmera region of north-Western Victoria. The Wergaia language consisted of four distinct dialects: Wudjubalug/Wotjobaluk, Djadjala/Djadjali, Buibadjali, Biwadjali.{{sfn|Clark|1990}} Wergaia was in turn apparently a dialect of the Wemba Wemba language, a member of the Kulinic branch of Pama–Nyungan.{{sfn|Dixon|2002|p=xxxvi}} The people were known as the Maligundidj, which means the people belonging to the mali (mallee) eucalypt bushland which covers much of their territory.{{sfn|Clark|1995|pp=177–183}}
