The Timor–Alor–Pantar languages are the Papuan (non-Austronesian) languages of Timor, especially the country of East Timor, and neighboring islands. ==Languages== The languages are demonstrably related,〔Schapper et al. (2012) (The historical relation of the Papuan languages of Timor and Kisar )〕 but many are not close. The following conservative classification is from Ross (2005), Schapper et al. (2012), and Holton et al. (2012). * East Timor (Oirata–Makasai) family *Bunak * Alor-Pantar family *Teiwa *Nedebang *Kaera *Western Pantar (Lamma) Bunak and the Alor–Pantar languages are sometimes grouped together as "West Timor", while Bunak and East Timor have been grouped as "Timor–Kisar". Although the Alor–Pantar languages are clearly related, as are the Timor–Kisar languages and the two groups to each other, until comparative work is done on all languages simultaneously it will not be clear whether Bunak is closer to East Timor or to Alor–Pantar, or whether Alor–Pantar is a valid node. The list given above is conservative, without any undemonstrated groups. Pronouns are: : Ross (2005) believes these reflecting proto-Trans–New Guinea 1st and 2nd-person pronouns *na, *ni, *ga, *gi, and possibly the pTNG dual/inclusive *-pi-, but this has not been demonstrated to the satisfaction of other linguists, many of whom see Trans–New Guinea as a more limited family. 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「Timor–Alor–Pantar languages」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
