The Border or Upper Tami〔Cowan (1957) tentatively proposed a "Tami" family, named after the Tami River, that included the modern Border and Sko language families. Some of the previously unclassified languages did turn out to be Sko, and were added to that family; the remainder (including the languages of the upper Tami) constitute the Border family.〕 languages are an independent family of Papuan languages in Malcolm Ross's version of the Trans–New Guinea proposal. They are named after the Indonesia – Papua New Guinea border, which they span. ==Classification== There are three unambiguous families within the Border languages, plus a possible erstwhile isolate. * ? ''Morwap'' (Elseng) isolate * Waris family: Waris, Imonda, Manem, Senggi (Viid), Punda-Umeda (Sowanda), Waina (Sowanda), Daonda, Auwe (Simog), Amanab * Taikat family: Awyi, Taikat * Bewani family: Ainbai, Umeda, Kilmeri, Ningera, Pagi Laycock classified Morwap as an isolate, but noted pronominal similarities with Border. Ross included Morwap in Border but noted that they do not appear to share any lexical similarities. However, Morwap data are quite poor. 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「Border languages (New Guinea)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
