The Trans-Fly languages are a small family of Papuan languages proposed by Timothy Usher, that are spoken in the region of the Fly River.[1][2]
Languages
- Trans-Fly
- Eastern Trans-Fly (Oriomo Plateau)
- Pahoturi (Paho River)
- Waia (Tabo)
Typology
The inclusive vs. exclusive first-person pronoun distinction is found in the Pahoturi River and Oriomo families, as well as in the Western Torres Strait language, but not in other languages of Southern New Guinea.[3]
