The (North) Halmahera languages are the Papuan languages of Halmahera and neighboring islands in Indonesia. The best known Halmaheran language is Ternate (50 000 native speakers), which is a regional lingua franca and which, along with Tidore, were the languages of the rival medieval Ternate and Tidore kingdoms of the spice trade. ==Classification== The classification used here is that of Voorhoeve 1988.〔Voorhoeve, C.L. 1988. The languages of the northern Halmaheran stock. Papers in New Guinea Linguistics, no. 26., 181-209. (Pacific Linguistics A-76). Canberra: Australian National University.〕 }} West Makian is divergent, perhaps due to Austronesian influence. It was once classified as an Austronesian language. There is a degree of mutual intelligibility between the Galela–Tobelo languages, and Voorhoeve 1988 considered them dialects of a language he called ''Northeast Halmaheran'', though most speakers consider them to be distinct languages. ''Ethnologue'' adds Kao, which it classifies as Sahu but notes may be a marginal dialect of Pagu. 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「Halmahera languages」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
