Abom is spoken in Lewada (8.335225°S 142.780449°E), Mutam (8.424996°S 142.930364°E), and Tewara (8.374194°S 142.45638°E) villages of Gogodala Rural LLG.[2][3]
Classification
Abom is not close to other languages. Pawley and Hammarström (2018) classify Abom as a divergent Tirio language on the basis of morphological evidence; Abom shares the same gender ablaut pattern as other Tirio languages.[4] Evans (2018), however, lists Abom as a separate branch of Trans-New Guinea.[5] Suter & Usher find that it is not an Anim language (the Trans–New Guinea family that includes the Tirio languages), but does appear to be divergent Trans–New Guinea.[6] Part of the problem is many recorded Abom words are loans from the Inland Gulf languages, reducing the material needed for comparison.
