Comments on the classification:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Our classification is based on those of Foley (2005) and ethnologue.com. These languages have sometimes been assimilated to those of the Sepik family, in a theoretical \u00ab Sepik-Ramu \u00bb grouping ; but this assimilation is no longer considered to be valid.<\/p>\n

\n

There is no real consensus on the internal classification of these languages, only the Lower Ramu branch is really accepted, the others are hypothetical groupings at this time.<\/p>\n

\n

NB<\/strong> : the Mongol language of the Ramu-Lower Sepik family should not be confused with Mongol, the official language of Mongolia.<\/p>\n
