  • East New Guinea Highlands is a 1960 proposal by Stephen Wurm for a family of Papuan languages spoken in Papua New Guinea that formed part of his 1975 expansion of Trans–New Guinea. The original proposal consisted of West-Central (Engan), Central (Chimbu-Wahgi), East-Central (Goroka), and Eastern (Kainantu). Duna and Kalam were added in 1971. East New Guinea Highlands was broken up by Malcom Ross in his 2005 classification (see below), but all branches were retained, and all remain within the now expanded Trans–New Guinea.
  • Die Ost-Neuguinea-Hochland-Sprachen (engl. East New Guinea Highlands Languages, East New Guinea Highlands Stock) gehören zu den Papua-Sprachen auf der Insel Neuguinea. Sie stellen eine Untergruppe der Trans-Neuguinea-Sprachen dar, deren Bildung auf Wurm zurück geht.
