Grand Valley Dani, or simply Dani,〔Compare Lani〕 is one of the most populous Papuan languages in Indonesian New Guinea. The Dani people live in the Baliem Valley of the Western Highlands. Dialectical differentiation is great enough that ''Ethnologue'' assigns separate codes to three varieties: *Lower *Mid or Central, also known as Tulem *Upper Lower Grand Valley Dani contains subdialects Lower Grand Valley Hitigima (Dani-Kurima, Kurima), Upper Bele, Lower Bele, Lower Kimbin (Kibin), and Upper Pyramid. Hupla, traditionally considered a separate language, is closer to Lower Grand Valley than the varieties of Grand Valley Dani are to each other. The Dani language differentiates only two basic colours, ''mili'' for cool/dark shades such as blue, green, and black, and ''mola'' for warm/light colours such as red, yellow, and white. This trait makes it an interesting field of research for language psychologists, such as Eleanor Rosch, investigating the Whorf hypothesis. ==Notes== 〔 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「Grand Valley Dani language」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
