A general term for the languages spoken in most of New Guinea and in the surrounding islands of Halmahera, Timor, New Ireland, and New Britain. There are several hundred languages, and they are of a different lineage from the neighboring Austronesian language family, but there are various theories about the classification of Papuan languages and their mutual lineages, and research is ongoing. A common feature is the "subject-object-predicate" word order. ◇Papuan in English. Source: Kodansha Encyclopedia of the World's Major Languages |
ニューギニア島の大部分と、その周辺のハルマヘラ島、ティモール島、ニューアイルランド島、ニューブリテン島などで話される言語の総称。数百種があり、隣接するアウストロネシア語族とは別系統の言語だが、パプア諸語の分類や相互の系統関係については諸説があり研究の途上にある。全体に共通する特徴としては「主語-目的語-述語」の語順があげられる。◇英語でPapuan。
