dbpprop:abstract
  • The South-Central Papuan languages are a family of Papuan languages proposed in 2005 by Malcolm Ross. It inherits much of the Trans-Fly–Bulaka River family posited by Stephen Wurm as a branch of his 1975 Trans–New Guinea proposal. Wurm himself concluded that some of the Trans-Fly–Bulaka River languages were not Trans–New Guinea at all but rather heavily influenced by Trans–New Guinea languages; Ross concurred and removed the South-Central Papuan and Eastern Trans-Fly branches from Wurm's family, leaving just Tirio, Kiwaian, and Moraori within TNG, and the TNG identity of Kiwaian suspect.
