Sepik-Ramu languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (260 words)
The Sepik-Ramu languages are a hypothetical language family linking the Sepik, Ramu, Nor-Pondo (Lower Sepik), Leonhard Schultze (Walio-Papi), and Yuat families, together with the Taiap language isolate, and proposed by Laycock in 1973.
All told, Sepik-Ramu consists of a hundred languages of the Sepik and Ramu river basins of northern Papua New Guinea, spoken by only 200 000 people in all.
The languages tend to have simple phonologies, with few consonants or vowels and usually no tones.
