About: Uneapa language

An Entity of Type: language, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Uneapa (often called "Bali", natively Uniapa) is an Oceanic language spoken by about 10,000 people on the small island of Bali (Uneapa), north of West New Britain in Papua New Guinea. It is perhaps a dialect of neighboring Vitu. Uneapa is one of the most conservative Oceanic languages, having retained most of Proto-Oceanic's final consonants with an echo vowel, such as *Rumaq "house" > rumaka and *saqat "bad" > zaɣata. A sketch grammar of this language was published in 2002 by Malcolm Ross.
