The <a href="/wiki/Eleman_languages" title="Eleman languages">Eleman languages</a> were first proposed by S. Ray in 1907, parts of <a href="/wiki/Marind_languages" class="mw-redirect" title="Marind languages">Marind</a> were recognized by Ray and JHP Murray in 1918, and the <a href="/wiki/Rai_Coast_languages" title="Rai Coast languages">Rai Coast languages</a> in 1919, again by Ray. </p><p>The precursor of the Trans–New Guinea family was <a href="/wiki/Stephen_Wurm" title="Stephen Wurm">Stephen Wurm</a>'s 1960 proposal of an <a href="/wiki/East_New_Guinea_Highlands_languages" title="East New Guinea Highlands languages">East New Guinea Highlands</a> family. Although broken up by <a href="/wiki/Malcolm_Ross_(linguist)" title="Malcolm Ross (linguist)">Malcolm Ross</a> in 2005, it united different branches of what became TNG for the first time, linking Engan, Chimbu–Wahgi, Goroka, and Kainantu. (Duna and Kalam were added in 1971.) Then in 1970, <a href="/wiki/Clemens_Voorhoeve" title="Clemens Voorhoeve">Clemens Voorhoeve</a> and <a href="/w/index.php?title=Kenneth_McElhanon&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Kenneth McElhanon (page does not exist)">Kenneth McElhanon</a> noted 91 lexical resemblances between the <a href="/wiki/Central_and_South_New_Guinea_languages" title="Central and South New Guinea languages">Central and South New Guinea</a> (CSNG) and <a href="/wiki/Finisterre%E2%80%93Huon_languages" title="Finisterre–Huon languages">Finisterre–Huon</a> families, which they had respectively established a few years earlier. Although they did not work out regular sound correspondences, and so could not distinguish between cognates due to genealogical relationship, cognates due to borrowing, and chance resemblances, their research was taken seriously. They chose the name <i>Trans–New Guinea</i> because this new family was the first to span New Guinea, from the <a href="/wiki/Bomberai_Peninsula" title="Bomberai Peninsula">Bomberai Peninsula</a> of western West Irian to the <a href="/wiki/Huon_Peninsula" title="Huon Peninsula">Huon Peninsula</a> of eastern PNG. They also noted possible cognates in other families Wurm would later add to TNG: Wurm's East New Guinea Highlands, <a href="/wiki/Binandere_languages" class="mw-redirect" title="Binandere languages">Binandere</a> in the '<a href="/wiki/Bird%27s_Tail" class="mw-redirect" title="Bird's Tail">Bird's Tail</a>' of PNG, and two families that <a href="/wiki/John_Z%27graggen" title="John Z'graggen">John Z'graggen</a> would later (1971, 1975) unite in his 100-language <a href="/wiki/Madang_languages" title="Madang languages">Madang–Adelbert Range</a> family. </p><p>In 1975, Wurm accepted Voorhoeve and McElhanon's suspicions about further connections, as well as Z'graggen's work, and postulated additional links to, among others, the languages of the island of <a href="/wiki/Timor" title="Timor">Timor</a> to the west of New Guinea, <a href="/wiki/Angan_languages" title="Angan languages">Angan</a>, <a href="/wiki/Goilalan_languages" title="Goilalan languages">Goilalan</a>, <a href="/wiki/Koiarian_languages" title="Koiarian languages">Koiarian</a>, <a href="/wiki/Dagan_languages" title="Dagan languages">Dagan</a>, <a href="/wiki/Eleman_languages" title="Eleman languages">Eleman</a>, <a href="/wiki/Wissel_Lakes_languages" class="mw-redirect" title="Wissel Lakes languages">Wissel Lakes</a>, the erstwhile <a href="/wiki/Dani-Kwerba_languages" class="mw-redirect" title="Dani-Kwerba languages">Dani-Kwerba</a> family, and the erstwhile <a href="/wiki/Trans-Fly%E2%80%93Bulaka_River" class="mw-redirect" title="Trans-Fly–Bulaka River">Trans-Fly–Bulaka River</a> family (which he had established in 1970), expanding TNG into an enormous language phylum that covered most of the island of New Guinea, as well as Timor and neighboring islands, and included over 500 languages spoken by some 2,300,000 people. However, part of the evidence for this was <a href="/wiki/Language_typology" class="mw-redirect" title="Language typology">typological</a>, and Wurm stated that he did not expect it to stand up well to scrutiny. Although he based the phylum on characteristic <a href="/wiki/Personal_pronoun" title="Personal pronoun">personal pronouns</a>, several of the branches had no pronouns in common with the rest of the family, or even had pronouns related to non-TNG families, but were included because they were grammatically similar to TNG. Other families that had typical TNG pronouns were excluded because they did not resemble other TNG families in their grammatical structure. </p><p>Because grammatical typology is readily borrowed—many of the <a href="/wiki/Austronesian_languages" title="Austronesian languages">Austronesian languages</a> in New Guinea have grammatical structures similar to their Papuan neighbors, for example, and conversely many Papuan languages resemble typical Austronesian languages typologically—other linguists were skeptical. <a href="/wiki/William_A._Foley" title="William A. Foley">William A. Foley</a> rejected Wurm's and even some of Voorhoeve's results, and he broke much of TNG into its constituent parts: several dozen small but clearly valid families, plus a number of apparent <a href="/wiki/Language_isolate" title="Language isolate">isolates</a>. </p><p>In 2005, <a href="/wiki/Malcolm_Ross_(linguist)" title="Malcolm Ross (linguist)">Malcolm Ross</a> published a draft proposal re-evaluating Trans–New Guinea, and found what he believed to be overwhelming evidence for a reduced version of the phylum, based solely on lexical resemblances, which retained as much as 85% of Wurm's hypothesis, though some of it tentatively. </p><p>The strongest lexical evidence for any language family is shared <a href="/wiki/Morphology_(linguistics)" title="Morphology (linguistics)">morphological</a> paradigms, especially highly irregular or <a href="/wiki/Suppletive" class="mw-redirect" title="Suppletive">suppletive</a> paradigms with bound morphology, because these are extremely resistant to borrowing. For example, the fact that German words <i>gut</i> "good" and <i>besser</i> "better" resemble their English counterparts would be stronger evidence that German is related to English than the mere lexical correspondence between German <i>rot</i> and English <i>red</i> for the color. However, because of the great morphological complexity of many Papuan languages, and the poor state of documentation of nearly all, in New Guinea this approach is essentially restricted to comparing <a href="/wiki/Pronoun" title="Pronoun">pronouns</a>. Ross reconstructed pronouns sets for Foley's basic families and compared these reconstructions, rather than using a direct mass comparison of all Papuan languages; attempted to then reconstruct the ancestral pronouns of the proto-Trans–New Guinea language, such as <i>*ni</i> "we", <i>*ŋgi</i> "you", <i>*i</i> "they"; and then compared poorly supported branches directly to this reconstruction. Families required two apparent cognates to be included. However, if any language in a family was a match, the family was considered a match, greatly increasing the likelihood of coincidental resemblances, and because the plural forms are related to the singular forms, a match of 1sg and 1pl, although satisfying Ross's requirement of two matches, is not actually two independent matches, again increasing the likelihood of spurious matches.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources. (May 2024)">citation needed</span></a></i>]</sup> In addition, Ross counted forms like *a as a match to 2sg *ga, so that <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">/ɡV,<span class="wrap"> </span>kV,<span class="wrap"> </span>ŋɡV,<span class="wrap"> </span>V/</span> all counted as matches to *ga.

That is, it is argued that Ross's pronouns do not support the validity of Trans–New Guinea, and do not reveal which families might belong to it.<sup id="cite_ref-HH_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-HH-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Ross also included in his proposal several better-attested families for non-pronominal evidence, despite a lack of pronouns common to other branches of TNG, and he suggested that there may be other families that would have been included if they had been better attested. Several additional families are only tentatively linked to TNG. Because the boundaries of Ross's proposal are based primarily on a single parameter, the pronouns, all internal structure remains tentative.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

He considered it possible, but not yet demonstrated, that the Enga, Chimbu, Binandere, Angan, Ok, Awyu, Asmat (perhaps closest to Ok and Awyu), Mek, Sentani, and the seven small language families of the tail of Papua New Guinea (Koiarian, Goilalan, etc., which he maintains have not been shown to be closely related to each other) may belong to TNG as well. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Ross_(2005)"><span id="Ross_.282005.29"></span>Ross (2005)</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Trans%E2%80%93New_Guinea_languages&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Ross (2005)"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:TNG_map.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f6/TNG_map.svg/220px-TNG_map.svg.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="134" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f6/TNG_map.svg/330px-TNG_map.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f6/TNG_map.svg/440px-TNG_map.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="512" data-file-height="313" /></a><figcaption>The various families constituting <a href="/wiki/Malcolm_Ross_(linguist)" title="Malcolm Ross (linguist)">Malcolm Ross</a>' conception of Trans–New Guinea.
