Linguistic classification East Bird's Head – Sentani?
Sentani | ||
The Sentani languages form a language family of coastal Indonesian Papua near the Papua New Guinea border. Sentani had been a branch of Stephen Wurm's proposal for Trans–New Guinea. The languages have lexical similarities with the Asmat–Kamoro languages, but Ross (2005) does not believe these demonstrate a genealogical relationship, and proposes instead that they are related to the East Bird's Head languages.
