The Binanderean languages are a family and part of the Trans–New Guinea languages (TNG) family in the classifications of Stephen Wurm (1975) and Malcolm Ross (2005). They are found along the north/east coast of the "Bird's Tail" of New Guinea, and appear to be a recent expansion from the north. The Binandere family proper is clearly valid; Ross added the Guhu-Semane isolate based on pronominal evidence, and this has been confirmed by Smallhorn (2011). Proto-Binanderean has been reconstructed in Smallhorn (2011). ==Classification== Smallhorn (2011:444) provides the following classification for Greater Binanderean. Individual languages are given in ''italics''. *Greater Binanderean * *Guhu-Samane * *Binanderean * * *Yekora * * *North Binanderean * * * *Suena * * * *Zia * * *Nuclear Binanderean * * * *Binandere * * * *South Binanderean * * * * *Orokaivic * * * * * *Aeka (Northern Orokaiva) * * * * * *Orokaiva * * * * * *Hunjara (Mountain Orokaiva) * * * * *Coastal Binanderean * * * * * *Notu-Yega * * * * * *Gaena-Korafe * * * * * *Baruga According to Smallhorn (2011), there are two linkages, namely Central Binanderean and Nuclear Binanderean. Ross (2005) reconstructs both independent pronouns and verbal person prefixes: : Only 1sg continues the TNG set. 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「Binanderean languages」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
