Abstract

Historical linguistics Papuan linguistics Ok languages Mian Oksapmin
In this paper evidence is provided that suggests the Oksapmin language, previously classed as constituting an isolate within the larger Trans New Guinea family, is related to the Mountain Ok branch of the Ok language family and, by extension, the entire Ok family. A list of cognates and sound correspondences is given, as well as evidence from bound morphology and pronoun paradigms.
