Notes: | Bamler, Georg, 1900. Bemerkungen zur Grammatik der Tami-Sprache. Zeitschrift für afrikanische und ozeanische Sprachen 5:198-253. Spoken on islands off the southeast point of the Huon Peninsula of New Guinea. | |
Problems: | The sources appear to differ somewhat. Reliability is somewhat less than good. Not clear if there is a distinction between prenasalised and non-prenasalised voiced stops. | |
