Comments on the classification of Left-May languages :<\/h5>\n

These languages have been theoretically linked to Kwomtari languages, but there is no consensus on this association. We have adopted Foley\u2019s (2006) classification and that of ethnologue.com (15th edition).<\/p>\n

NB: Ethnologue includes Iteri, Ama, Nimo and Owiniga in a \u201cLeft May\u201d or \u201cArai\u201d branch linked to the Kwomtari language in an \u201cArai-Kwomtari\u201d grouping<\/p>\n
