The Alor–Pantar languages are a family of clearly related Papuan languages spoken on islands of the Alor archipelago near Timor in southern Indonesia. They may be most closely related to the non-Austronesian languages of western Timor, but this is not yet clear. A more distant relationship with the Trans–New Guinea languages of the Bomberai peninsula has been proposed based on pronominal evidence, but though often cited has never been firmly established. ==Languages== The family is conventionally divided into two branches, centered on the islands of Alor and Pantar. * Alor branch: Kamang (Woisika), Abui, Adang–Kabola, Kafoa (Jafoo), Kui, Kelon * Pantar branch: Blagar, Tewa, Lamma, Nedebang, Retta Tereweng is sometimes considered a separate language from Blagar, and Hamap sometimes separate from Adang. Abui, Kamang, and Kabola may also not be unitary languages. The 15th edition of Ethnologue included Makasae as a third branch, but this is now known to be related instead to Oirata–Fataluku. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alor–Pantar languages」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
