Language family
  
Trans–New Guinea? Kamula

Kamula is a Trans–New Guinea language that is unclassified within that family in the classification of Malcolm Ross (2005). The little data we have on Kamula pronouns does not fit in with the neighboring East Strickland or Bosavi languages (though 1sg likely reflects proto-TNG *na), so Kamula is best left as an independent branch of Trans–New Guinea pending further study.

Attested pronouns are 1sg nɛ̃, 2sg wɛ̃, and ̩pl diɛ.
