Oksapmin is a Trans–New Guinea language spoken in Oksapmin Rural LLG, Telefomin District, Sandaun, Papua New Guinea. The two principal dialects are distinct enough to cause some problems with mutual intelligibility.

For the local-level government in Papua New Guinea, see Oksapmin Rural LLG.

Oksapmin has dyadic kinship terms[2] and a body-part counting system that goes up to 27.[3]


Classification


Oksapmin has been influenced by the Mountain Ok languages (the name "Oksapmin" is from Telefol), and the similarities with those languages were attributed to borrowing in the classifications of both Stephen Wurm (1975) and Malcolm Ross (2005), where Oksapmin was placed as an independent branch of Trans–New Guinea. Loughnane (2009)[4] and Loughnane and Fedden (2011)[5] conclude that it is related to the Ok languages, though those languages share innovative features not found in Oksapmin. Usher finds Oksapmin is not related to the Ok languages specifically, though it is related at some level to the southwestern branches of Trans–New Guinea.

[de] Oksapmin

Oksapmin (nuxule meŋ, „unsere Sprache“) ist eine Papua-Sprache und wird inzwischen zum Ok-Oksapmin-Zweig der Trans-Neuguinea-Sprachen gezählt. Die Sprache wird nach einer Schätzung von 1993 von ca. 8000 Sprechern im Hochland im Nord-Westen Papua-Neuguineas gesprochen. Genauer lokalisiert sich Oksapmin im Tekin-Tal im Telefomin-Distrikt der Sandaun-Provinz. In diesem Gebiet ist Oksapmin die vorherrschende Erstsprache, steht aber unter wachsendem Einfluss des Englischen sowie des Tok Pisin. Das Oksapmin verfügt über zwei Hauptdialekte, Upper und Lower Oksapmin. Aufgrund großer Überschneidungen der Dialekte sind die jeweiligen Sprechergruppen in der Lage, sich gegenseitig zu verstehen.[1] Der folgende Artikel bezieht sich ausschließlich auf den Lower Oksapmin Dialekt. Besonderheiten des Oksapmin sind unter anderem die dyadische Verwandtschaftsbezeichnungen, die grammatische Kategorie der Evidentialität sowie das Zählsystem anhand von Körperteilen (Body Party Counting System).
