Turama-Kikorian languages

New Guinea and Pacific Language Families

The Turama-Kikorian languages are a small family first identified by linguist Arthur Capell in 1962 and classified within the Trans-New Guinea languages. The family comprises the languages Rumu, also called Kairi, Omati and Ikobi, spoken in the Omati River region of Gulf Province, Papua New Guinea, near where the Turama and Kikori rivers run. Rumu is markedly more divergent from the family's two other languages than they are from each other.
