We present the results of a kinematic survey of the Small Magellanic Cloud, performed with a scanning FP interferometer mainly at Hα. These data allow us to study the overall dynamics of the ionized hydrogen of this galaxy as well as the kinematics of classes of objects. In this presentation we exemplify how the availability of data in several wavelengths can be very useful in establishing the nature of large nebular complexes of the Small Magellanic Cloud. Our kinematic study allows us to discriminate faint shocked nebulae (such as supernova remnants) inside bright HII regions. This is confirmed by recently available radio and X-ray data.
