The East Bird's Head languages form a language family of three languages in the "Bird's Head" Peninsula of western New Guinea, spoken by only twenty thousand people in all. Stephen Wurm identifies the subdivisions of his Papuan classification as families (on the order of the Germanic languages), stocks (on the order of the Indo-European languages), and phyla (on the order of the Nostratic hypothesis). East Bird's Head is a stock in this terminology.

  • The East Bird's Head languages form a language family of three languages in the "Bird's Head" Peninsula of western New Guinea, spoken by only twenty thousand people in all. Stephen Wurm identifies the subdivisions of his Papuan classification as families (on the order of the Germanic languages), stocks (on the order of the Indo-European languages), and phyla (on the order of the Nostratic hypothesis). East Bird's Head is a stock in this terminology. A language that is not related to any other at a family level, such as Greek within Indo-European, will be called an isolate in this scheme.
  • East Bird's Head ist eine Sprachfamilie, die in Indonesien, auf dem westlichen Teil Neuguineas sowie auf der Vogelkop-Halbinsel verbreitet ist. Sie besteht aus den drei Sprachen Mantion, Meax und Meninggo mit insgesamt 40.000 Sprechern. Die meistgesprochene Sprache ist das Mantion.
  • La famille de langues papoues dites East Bird's Head ("Tête d'Oiseau orientale", autre nom de la péninsule de Doberai à l'extrémité occidentale de la Nouvelle-Guinée) est constituée par les langues meyah, moskona et manikion. Elles sont parlées dans la province indonésienne de Papouasie occidentale.
