The remainder of the family, which he calls <i>South-Central Papuan</i>, is only tentatively retained: their pronouns are suggestive of a relationship, but this has not been demonstrated. </p> <div class="clade"><style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1258728058">body.skin-vector-2022 .mw-parser-output div.clade,body.skin-minerva .mw-parser-output div.clade{overflow-x:auto;overflow-y:hidden}body.skin-minerva .mw-parser-output div.clade p{font-size:inherit}.mw-parser-output table.clade{border-spacing:0;margin:0;font-size:100%;line-height:100%;border-collapse:separate;width:auto}.mw-parser-output table.clade table.clade{width:100%;line-height:inherit}.mw-parser-output table.clade td.clade-label{min-width:0.2em;width:0.2em;padding:0.1em 0.25em;vertical-align:bottom;text-align:center;border-left:1px solid;border-bottom:1px solid;white-space:nowrap}.mw-parser-output table.clade td.clade-label::before,.mw-parser-output table.clade td.clade-slabel::before{content:"\2060 "}.mw-parser-output table.clade td.clade-fixed-width{overflow:hidden;text-overflow:ellipsis}.mw-parser-output table.clade td.clade-fixed-width:hover{overflow:visible}.mw-parser-output table.clade td.clade-label.first{border-left:none;border-right:none}.mw-parser-output table.clade td.clade-label.reverse{border-left:none;border-right:1px solid}.mw-parser-output table.clade td.clade-slabel{padding:0.1em 0.25em;vertical-align:top;text-align:center;border-left:1px solid;white-space:nowrap}.mw-parser-output table.clade td.clade-slabel:hover{overflow:visible}.mw-parser-output table.clade td.clade-slabel.last{border-left:none;border-right:none}.mw-parser-output table.clade td.clade-slabel.reverse{border-left:none;border-right:1px solid}.mw-parser-output table.clade td.clade-bar{vertical-align:middle;text-align:left;padding:0 0.5em;position:relative}.mw-parser-output table.clade td.clade-bar.reverse{text-align:right;position:relative}.mw-parser-output table.clade td.clade-leaf{border:0;padding:0;text-align:left}.mw-parser-output table.clade td.clade-leafR{border:0;padding:0;text-align:right}.mw-parser-output table.clade td.clade-leaf.reverse{text-align:right}.mw-parser-output table.clade:hover span.linkA{background-color:yellow}.mw-parser-output table.clade:hover span.linkB{background-color:green}</style> <table class="clade"> <tbody><tr> <td class="clade-label first"><div style="display:inline" class="nowrap"><span class="nowrap">Trans-Fly–Bulaka River </span><br /><span class="nowrap">(South-Central Papuan) </span></div> </td> <td rowspan="2" class="clade-leaf"> <div><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1258728058"> <table class="clade"> <tbody><tr> <td class="clade-label first"> </td> <td rowspan="2" class="clade-leaf"> <p><b><a href="/wiki/Bulaka_River_languages" title="Bulaka River languages">Bulaka River</a></b> family </p> </td></tr> <tr> <td class="clade-slabel"> </td></tr> <tr> <td class="clade-label"> </td> <td rowspan="2" class="clade-leaf"> <div><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1258728058"> <table class="clade"> <tbody><tr> <td class="clade-label first"> </td> <td rowspan="2" class="clade-leaf"> <p><b><a href="/wiki/Pahoturi_languages" title="Pahoturi languages">Pahoturi</a></b> family </p> </td></tr> <tr> <td class="clade-slabel"> </td></tr> <tr> <td class="clade-label"> </td> <td rowspan="2" class="clade-leaf"> <p><a href="/wiki/Waia_language" class="mw-redirect" title="Waia language">Waia</a> isolate </p> </td></tr> <tr> <td class="clade-slabel last"> </td></tr></tbody></table></div> </td></tr> <tr> <td class="clade-slabel"> </td></tr> <tr> <td class="clade-label"> </td> <td rowspan="2" class="clade-leaf"> <p><b><a href="/wiki/Yam_languages" title="Yam languages">Yam</a></b> (Morehead – Upper Maro) family </p> </td></tr> <tr> <td class="clade-slabel last"> </td></tr></tbody></table></div> </td></tr> <tr> <td class="clade-slabel last"> </td></tr></tbody></table></div> <p>A more conservative approach would break up Wurm's Trans-Fly–Bulaka River entirely, with two or three of the families remaining within Trans–New Guinea, and five or six being independent. Evans (2012), for example, argues that the inclusion of the Yam language at least is not justified on present evidence. Timothy Usher treats the Bulaka River and Yam languages as separate families, and links the Pahoturi– clade to the <a href="/wiki/Eastern_Trans-Fly_languages" title="Eastern Trans-Fly languages">Eastern Trans-Fly languages</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Southern_New_Guinea_linguistic_area">Southern New Guinea linguistic area</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Trans-Fly%E2%80%93Bulaka_River_languages&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Southern New Guinea linguistic area"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>A <i>Southern New Guinea</i> <a href="/wiki/Linguistic_area" class="mw-redirect" title="Linguistic area">linguistic area</a>, which spans both Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, consisting of the following families is mentioned in Evans (2018).<sup id="cite_ref-Evans-Southern_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Evans-Southern-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Yelmek-Maklew_languages" class="mw-redirect" title="Yelmek-Maklew languages">Yelmek-Maklew</a> - 500 speakers</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Yam_languages" title="Yam languages">Yam</a> (Morehead-Upper Maro) - 3,000 speakers</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Pahoturi_River_languages" class="mw-redirect" title="Pahoturi River languages">Pahoturi River</a> - just over 4,000 speakers</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Oriomo_languages" class="mw-redirect" title="Oriomo languages">Oriomo</a> (Eastern Trans-Fly) - 6,500 speakers</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Trans-New_Guinea" class="mw-redirect" title="Trans-New Guinea">Trans-New Guinea</a> (TNG) <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Kolopom_languages" title="Kolopom languages">Kolopom</a> - just over 7,000 speakers</li> <li><i><a href="/wiki/Marori_language" class="mw-redirect" title="Marori language">Marori</a></i> - fewer than 20 elderly speakers</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Gogodala%E2%80%93Suki_languages" title="Gogodala–Suki languages">Gogodala-Suki</a> - 30,000 speakers</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Kiwaian_languages" title="Kiwaian languages">Kiwaian</a> - 37,000 speakers</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Anim_languages" title="Anim languages">Anim</a> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Marind_languages" class="mw-redirect" title="Marind languages">Marindic</a> - 10,000 speakers</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Tirio_languages" title="Tirio languages">Tirio</a> (Lower Fly)</li> <li><i><a href="/wiki/Ipiko_language" title="Ipiko language">Ipiko</a></i> (Inland Gulf)</li></ul></li></ul></li></ul> <p>Languages within the Southern New Guinea linguistic area generally share these typological features.<sup id="cite_ref-Evans-Southern_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Evans-Southern-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <ul><li>lack of <a href="/wiki/Tone_(linguistics)" title="Tone (linguistics)">tone</a> (except Kuni-Boazi, possibly Marind, and some Kiwai dialects)</li> <li>complex verb morphology</li> <li>limited or no <a href="/wiki/Linguistic_gender" class="mw-redirect" title="Linguistic gender">gender</a> (except for the four-way gender system in <a href="/wiki/Anim_languages" title="Anim languages">Anim languages</a>, and the masculine vs. feminine contrast on undergoer-prefixes in the <a href="/wiki/Tonda_languages" title="Tonda languages">Tonda languages</a> and some <a href="/wiki/Oriomo_languages" class="mw-redirect" title="Oriomo languages">Oriomo languages</a>)</li> <li>lack of verb chaining or <a href="/wiki/Switch-reference" title="Switch-reference">switch-reference</a></li> <li>single-word verbs form an <a href="/wiki/Verb_class" class="mw-redirect" title="Verb class">open class</a></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Pronouns">Pronouns</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Trans-Fly%E2%80%93Bulaka_River_languages&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Pronouns"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The pronouns Ross reconstructs for the three families he keeps together are suggestively similar, but it has not been possible to reconstruct common forms: </p> <dl><dt>Proto-Yam (Proto–Morehead – Upper Maro)</dt></dl> <dl><dd><table class="wikitable"> <tbody><tr> <td><b>I/we</b></td> <td><i>*ni</i> </td></tr> <tr> <td><b>you</b></td> <td><i>*bu</i> </td></tr> <tr> <td><b>s/he/they</b></td> <td><i>*be</i> </td></tr></tbody></table></dd></dl> <dl><dt>Proto-Pahoturi</dt></dl> <dl><dd><table class="wikitable"> <tbody><tr> <td><b>I</b></td> <td><i>*ŋa-na</i></td> <td><b>we</b></td> <td>?
