The Grass Keram languages are a small family of clearly related languages, *Banaro *Grass proper: Aion, Adjora (Abu), and Gorovu. Laycock (1973) noted that Banaro was lexically divergent, and therefore grouped it with the Grass ''family'' in a higher-level Grass ''stock'',〔Donald C. Laycock, 1973. 'Sepik languages: checklist and preliminary classification'. ''Pacific linguistics'', Series B, Issue 25. Australian National University, Dept. of Linguistcs.〕 a position accepted by Pawley (2005).〔Andrew Pawley, 2005, ''Papuan pasts''〕 The inclusion of Kambot is no longer accepted. The Grass family is generally classified among the Ramu languages of northern Papua New Guinea. However, ''Glottolog'' breaks it up, with only Abu (Adora) and Gorovu kept together (in a "Agoan" branch), and Banaro left unclassified. ==References== * 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「Grass languages」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
