In Angai, Wyacker (natively wi:akkarung; Thackish: Wỵạckẹr wụttle) is a head-final language inspired by Tamil, Pama-Nyungan languages, Polynesian languages, Danish, Arabic, and German. It belongs to the Pulchric (natively puLKarar haDorLai; Thackish: Pụlkér hạzórlýe) family. It is spoken in the Wyacker Confederacy (wi:akkar ngauëNTung, Thackish: Wỵạckẹr Ngọwẹndíng) in the continent of Ghalki. Many Ghalkian languages in the area such as Thackish are Wyacker-xenic.
