Karkar language
The Karkar language, also known as Yuri, is the sole Pauwasi language in Papua New Guinea. There are about a thousand speakers in along the Indonesian border.
==Classification==
Karkar-Yuri is not related to any other language in Papua New Guinea, and was therefore long thought to be a language isolate. This is the position of Wurm (1983), Foley (1986), and Ross (2005). However, Timothy Usher noticed that it is transparently related to the Pauwasi languages across the border in Indonesia. Indeed, it may even form a dialect continuum with the Eastern Pauwasi language Emem. This was foreshadowed in non-linguistic literature: a 1940 map shows the 'Enam' (Emem)–speaking area as including the Karkar territory in PNG, and the anthropologist Hanns Peter knew that the Karkar dialect continuum continued across the border into Emem territory.〔Harald Hammarström, 2010. (The status of the least documented language families in the world )〕
Pronouns are:
Object forms take ''-an'', sometimes replacing the ''-o'': ''onan, amoan, man, yinan, námoan, yumoan.'' ''Mao'' is a demonstrative 'that one, those'; it contrasts with ''nko, nkoan'' 'the other one(s)'.
