New Guinea and Pacific Language Families

The Dagan, or Meneao Range, languages are a small family of Trans-New Guinea languages spoken in the Meneao Range of the Bird's Tail, the southeastern peninsula of New Guinea, making them the easternmost Papuan languages on the mainland, in Central Province and Milne Bay Province of Papua New Guinea. Classified within the Southeast Papuan branch, the family is described as the most divergent of that branch's several small families, and comprises nine languages: Onjob, Daga, Maiwa, Mapena, Ginuman, Kanasi, Dima, Umanakaina and Turaka.
