South Bird's Head Languages
The South Bird's Head or South Doberai languages are three families of Papuan languages. They form part of the Trans–New Guinea languages in the classifications of Malcolm Ross (2005) and Timothy Usher (2020), though Pawley and Hammarström (2018) do not consider them to be part of Trans–New Guinea. However, according to Dryer (2022), based on a preliminary quantitative analysis of data from the ASJP database, South Bird's Head languages are likely to be a subgroup of Trans–New Guinea. Languages The languages are as follows, * Konda-Yahadian (Yabin): Konda, Yahadian * Inanwatan (West South Bird's Head): Duriankere, Inanwatan (Suabo) * South Bird's Head proper (East South Bird's Head): ** Kais (Kampong Baru) ** Iwaro–Kaburi *** Kaburi *** Puragi (Iwaro) ** Kokoda–Arandai *** Kokoda (Tarof, Kasuweri) *** Arandai **** Kemberano (Weriagar, Barau) **** Dombano (Tomu) Noting low cognacy rates, Holton and Klamer (2018) tentatively consider the following three la ...

Abun Language
Abun, also known as Yimbun, Anden, Manif, or Karon Pantai, is a Papuan language spoken by the Abun people along the northern coast of the Bird's Head Peninsula in Sausapor District, Tambrauw Regency. It is not closely related to any other language, and though Ross (2005) assigned it to the West Papuan family, based on similarities in pronouns, Palmer (2018), ''Ethnologue'', and ''Glottolog'' list it as a language isolate. Abun used to have three lexical tones, but only two are distinguished now as minimal pairs and even these are found in limited vocabulary. Therefore, Abun is said to be losing its tonality due to linguistic change. Being spoken along the coast of northwestern New Guinea, Abun is in contact with Austronesian languages; maritime vocabulary in Abun has been borrowed from Biak. Setting and dialects The speakers number about 3,000 spread across 18 villages and several isolated hamlets. The Abun area occupies a stretch of the northern coast of the Bird's Head ...

West Bird's Head Languages
West Bird's Head languages are a small family of poorly documented Papuan languages spoken on the Bird's Head Peninsula of New Guinea. The West Bird's Head (WBH) family is a well-defined family of six languages spoken at the western end of the Bird's Head Peninsula of New Guinea and the eastern part of the island of Salawati opposite the Bird's Head's western shore. Based on pronominal evidence, they are perhaps related to the North Halmahera languages of North Maluku. Language contact West Bird's Head languages have been heavily influenced by Austronesian languages. Austronesian influence is evident in SVO word order (as opposed to SOV word order in most other Papuan language families), pronouns, numerals, and other typological features.

Arandai Language
Arandai is a dialect cluster of Teluk Bintuni Regency in West Papua, Indonesia. In Teluk Bintuni Regency, it is spoken in Aranday, Kamundan, and Weriagar districts. Names and varieties The treatment at '' Ethnologue'' appears to be inconsistent. ISO codes are assigned to two languages, "Arandai" and "Kemberano", the latter of which is also called Arandai. They are said to have 85% lexical similarity, which would make them dialects of one language. However, the two dialects given for Arandai, also called Kemberano and Arandai ( Tomu and Dombano), are said to have only 71% lexical similarity, making them different languages. Dialects of Kemberano (Weriagar) are listed as Weriagar (Kemberano) and Barau. Additional alternative names of Arandai/Kemberano/Dombano–Tomu are given as Jaban (Yaban), Sebyar, Sumuri.
