The Finisterre languages are a family within the original Trans–New Guinea (TNG) proposal, and William A. Foley considers their TNG identity to be established. They share with the Huon languages verbs that are suppletive depending on the person & number of the object, strong morphological evidence that they are related. ==Internal structure== Huon and Finisterre, and then the connection between them, were identified by Kenneth McElhanon (1967, 1970). They are clearly valid language families. Finiterre contains six clear branches. Beyond that, classification is based on lexicostatistics, which is generally unreliable. The outline below follows McElhanon and Carter et al. (2012). * Finisterre family * * Erap branch * * *Boana: Nuk–Nek, Nakama, Numanggang, Munkip * * *Finongan, Gusan, Mamaa * * *Nimi, Sauk (Ma Manda), Uri * * Gusap–Mot branch * * *Madi (Gira), Neko, Nekgini * * *Ngaing, Rawa, Ufim, Iyo (Nahu) * * Uruwa branch: Sakam (Kutong) – Som, Nukna (Komutu), Yau, ?Weliki * * Wantoat branch: Awara–Wantoat (Yagawak, Bam), Tuma-Irumu * * Warup branch: Asaro'o (Morafa) – Molet, Bulgebi, Degenan, Forak, Guya (Guiarak), Gwahatike (Dahating), Muratayak (Asat, Yagomi) * * Yupna branch: Domung–Ma (Mebu), Nankina, Bonkiman–Yopno (Kewieng, Wandabong, Nokopo, Isan), ?Yout Wam 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「Finisterre languages」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
