lingvo.wikisort.org - LanguageThe Greater Binanderean or Guhu-Oro languages are a language family spoken along the northeast coast of the Papuan Peninsula – the "Bird's Tail" of New Guinea – and appear to be a recent expansion from the north. They were classified as a branch of the Trans–New Guinea languages by Stephen Wurm (1975) and Malcolm Ross (2005), but removed (along with the related Goilalan languages) by Timothy Usher (2020).[2] The Binandere family proper is transparently valid; Ross connected it to the Guhu-Semane isolate based on pronominal evidence, and this has been confirmed by Smallhorn (2011). Proto-Binanderean (which excludes Guhu-Samane) has been reconstructed in Smallhorn (2011).

There is evidence that settlements of people speaking Oceanic languages along the Binanderean coast were gradually absorbed into inland communities speaking Binanderean languages (Bradshaw 2017). For instance, the SOV word order of Papuan Tip languages is due to Binanderean influence.[3]
Korafe displays significant influence from Oceanic languages. Meanwhile, Maisin, spoken in Oro Province, is an Oceanic language with very heavy Binanderean influence and shows characteristics typical of mixed languages.[3]
Spoken in Morobe Province, Guhu-Samane is divergent, which may be due to extensive historical contact with Oceanic languages such as Numbami.[3]
Classification
Greater Binanderean consists of the Guhu-Samane language and the Binanderean languages proper.
Smallhorn (2011:444) provides the following classification:
- Greater Binanderean
- Guhu-Samane
- Binanderean
- Yekora
- North Binanderean
- Nuclear Binanderean
- Binandere
- South Binanderean
- Orokaivic
- Aeka (Northern Orokaiva)
- Orokaiva
- Hunjara (Mountain Orokaiva)
- Coastal Binanderean
However, South Binanderean and Nuclear Binanderean are non-genealogical linkages.
Usher (2020), who calls the Binanderean languages proper "Oro" after Oro Province, classifies them very similarly, apart from not reproducing the non-cladistic linkages:[2]
- Guhu–Oro (= Greater Binanderean)
Demographics
Smallhorn (2011:3) provides population figures for the following Binanderean languages.
- Guhu-Samane: 12,800
- Suena: 3,000
- Yekora: 1,000
- Zia: 3,000
- Mawae: 943
- Binandere: 7,000 (including Ambasi)
- Aeka: 3,400
- Orokaiva: 24,000
- Hunjara: 8,770
- Notu: 12,900 (including Yega)
- Gaena: 1,410
- Baruga: 2,230
- Doghoro: 270
- Korafe: 3,630
- Total
- about 80,000
Proto-language
Pronouns
Ross (2005) reconstructs both independent pronouns and verbal person prefixes:
sg. | pronoun | prefix |
1 |
*na | *a- |
2 |
*ni | *i- |
3 |
*nu | *u- |
Only 1sg continues the Trans-New Guinea set.
