The Lower Mamberamo languages are a recently proposed language family linking two languages spoken along the northern coast of Papua province, Indonesia, near the mouth of the Mamberamo River. The two languages, Warembori and Yoke, were listed as isolates in Stephen Wurm's widely used classification. Donohue (1998) showed them to be related with shared morphological irregularities.

  • The Lower Mamberamo languages are a recently proposed language family linking two languages spoken along the northern coast of Papua province, Indonesia, near the mouth of the Mamberamo River. The two languages, Warembori and Yoke, were listed as isolates in Stephen Wurm's widely used classification. Donohue (1998) showed them to be related with shared morphological irregularities. Ross (2007) classified Warembori as an Austronesian language based on pronouns; however, Donohue argues that these are borrowed, since the two pronouns most resistant to borrowing, 'I' and 'thou', do not resemble Austronesian or any other language family. The singular prefixes resemble Kwerba languages, but Lower Mamberamo has nothing else in common with that family. Donohue argues that they form an independent family, though one perhaps related to another Papuan family, that has been extensively relexified under Austronesian influence, especially in the case of Warembori.
  • On appelle langues du Bas-Mamberamo deux langues parlées dans la région de l'embouchure du fleuve Mamberamo, dans le kabupaten (département) de Jayapura de la province indonésienne de Papouasie : Le warembori, parlé par 600 personnes dans les villages de Warembori, Tamakuri et Bonoi. Le yoke, parlé par 200 personnes à l'est du fleuve, dans le village de Mantarbori. Ces deux langues sont les seuls représentants d'une famille linguistique classée dans la catégorie des langues papoues.
