Dani Languages
The Dani or Baliem Valley languages are a family of clearly related Trans–New Guinea languages spoken by the Dani and related peoples in the Baliem Valley in the highlands of Papua Province, Indonesia. Foley (2003) considers their TNG status to be established. They may be most closely related to the languages of Paniai Lakes, but this is not yet clear. Capell (1962) had posited that their closest relatives were the Kwerba languages, which Ross (2005) rejects. Languages Larson (1977) divided the family into three branches based on lexicostatistics, and Nggem was later added as a fourth. The Ngalik languages are very poorly attested. * Dani family ** Wano ** Nggem ** Central Dani: Grand Valley Dani (upper, lower, and mid dialects), Hupla, Western Dani– Walak ** Ngalik: Nduga, Silimo, Yali (dialect cluster) Phonemes Usher (2020) reconstructs the consonant inventory as follows.
