<span style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33);">The language you're looking for is Wangkumarra where case markers are diachronically derived from suffixed pronouns and show a gender contrast as well. It's one of very few Australian languages with tripartite case for
A, P, S (see McDonald & Wurm 1979, Pacific Linguistics). Paradigms are in my handout from a talk in Paris in 2024 (</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><a href="http://peterkaustin.com/docs/teaching/2024-09-05_Flagging.pdf">http://peterkaustin.com/docs/teaching/2024-09-05_Flagging.pdf</a>)</span><span style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33);">.</span></div>

<div>Dear colleagues,
<p>I dimly remember that in one or more languages of Australia, case suffixes look like forms of a pronoun declined for the case in question.</p>
<p>Could someone with relevant expertise or a better memory than me please help me out? Name of the language(s) in question would be sufficient; a reference would be even better.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance,</p>
<p>Christian</p>
