Nimboran languages

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Nimboran languages are a small independent family of Papuan languages in the classification of Malcolm Ross, that had been part of Stephen Würm's Trans-New Guinea proposal. However, when proto-Nimboran pronouns are reconstructed (*genam "I" and kom or komot "thou"), they don't much resemble the proto-TNG pronouns *na and *ga.
