South Bird's Head Languages
The South Bird's Head or South Doberai languages are three language family, families of Papuan languages. They form part of the Trans–New Guinea languages in the classifications of Malcolm Ross (linguist), 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 Matthew Dryer, 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, * South Bird's Head ** Konda-Yahadian languages, Konda-Yahadian (Yabin): Konda language (Papuan), Konda, Yahadian language, Yahadian ** Inanwatan languages, Inanwatan (West South Bird's Head): Duriankere language, Duriankere, Inanwatan language, Inanwatan (Suabo) ** Nuclear South Bird's Head languages, South Bird's Head proper (East South Bird's Head): *** Kais language, Kais (Kampong Baru) *** I ...
