Berik is a Papuan language spoken in eastern Papua. Speakers are located in four village groups on the Tor river towards the northern coast of Indonesian-controlled Irian Jaya.〔Matthews, "Berik Literacy Program", p. 109〕 US linguist John McWhorter cited Berik as an example of a language which puts concepts "together in ways more fascinatingly different from English than most of us are aware".〔McWhorter, "No Tears for Dead Tongues"〕 Illustrating this, in the phrase ''Kitobana'' (meaning "() gives three large objects to a male in the sunlight"), affixes indicating time of day, object number, object size, and gender of recipient are added to the verb.〔〔"Difficult languages--Tongue twisters--In search of the world’s hardest language"(), Economist, New York,Dec 17th 2009.〕〔John McWhorter,"No Tears For Dead Tongues"(), Forbes,2/21/2008 @ 6:00PM.〕 ==Sample==
* ''Angtaneʻ bosna Usafe je gatas tarnap ge nuin. Tesa ga belim taban, ga jes talebowel.'' * "There was once a person named Usafe who lived near the sago acreages. Whenever he finished cutting down a sago tree, he pounded it"〔Taken from Jones, "In Pursuit of Discourse Particles", p. 130〕
