	Pauwasi Languages The Pauwasi languages are a likely family of Papuan languages, mostly in Indonesia. The subfamilies are at best only distantly related. The best described Pauwasi language is Karkar, across the border in Papua New Guinea. They are spoken around the headwaters of the Pauwasi River in the Indonesian-PNG border region. Based on earlier work, the East and West Pauwasi languages of Indonesia were classified together in Wurm (1975), though he (and later researchers) did not recognize that Yuri (Karkar) of Papua New Guinea was also East Pauwasi. That connection was made by Usher, though anthropologists had long known of the connection. Later the South Pauwasi languages were also identified by Usher, and the West Pauwasi family tentatively expanded. Wichmann (2013), Foley (2018) and Pawley & Hammarström (2018), noting the sharp differences between the three groups, are agnostic about whether West Pauwasi, East Pauwasi and South Pauwasi are related.Wichmann, Søren. 2013A classificat ...

	East Pauwasi Languages The East Pauwasi languages are a family of Papuan languages spoken in north-central New Guinea, on both sides of the Indonesia-Papua New Guinea border. They may either form part of a larger Pauwasi language family along with the Western Pauwasi languages, or they could form an independent language family. Languages According to Timothy Usher, the East Pauwasi languages, which seem to form a dialect chain, are: ;East Pauwasi River * Zorop (Yafi) Emem–Karkar Emem (Emumu) North Emem South Emem Karkar Karkar may refer to: Karkar, Selseleh, a village in Iran Karkar Island, an island in Papua New Guinea Karkar language, a language spoken in Papua New Guinea Karkar Rural LLG, a local-level government in Papua New Guinea Karkar Morghi Deli Baja ...

	South Pauwasi Languages The South Pauwasi languages are a likely small language family of New Guinea, potentially consisting of Yetfa, Kimki, Lepki, Murkim and Kembra. Classification Usher (2020) classifies the languages as follows, ;Yetfa – South Pauwasi River * Yetfa South Pauwasi River * Kimki Lepki–Murkim * Kembra * Lepki * Murkim The relationship of the five languages was recognized in the early 2000s as Paul Whitehouse assembled unpublished data from the Summer Institute of Linguistics. Usher classifies them as a branch of the Pauwasi language family. Søren Wichmann (2013) agrees that Murkim and Lepki at least appear to be very closely related.Wichmann, Søren. 2013A classification of Papuan languages In: Hammarström, Harald and Wilco van den Heuvel (eds.), History, contact and classification of Papuan languages (Language and Linguistics in Melanesia, Special Issue 2012), 313-386.
