Wik Paach (Wikapatja), also known as Abodja, is an extinct Australian language of Queensland. It remains unclassified. The form of the name comes from one of the Wik languages, where wik means "language", but Paach is not itself a member of that family.Peter Sutton, "Aboriginal Australia: social dialects", in Suzanne Romaine, ed., Language in Australia, CUP, 1990:60.{{Cite web |last=Crump |first=Des |date=2020-06-10 |title=Language of the Week: Week One - Abodja |url=https://www.slq.qld.gov.au/blog/language-week-week-one-abodja |access-date=2023-11-30 |website=State Library Of Queensland |language=en}}
