The South Adelbert or Southern Adelbert Range languages are a family of languages in the Madang stock of New Guinea.
Languages
The languages are as follows.[1]
- Pomoikan (Tomui River): Osum (Utarmbung), Wadaginam, Anam (Pondoma), Anamgura (Ikundun), Moresada
- Sogeram (Sogeram River)
Daniels (2012) classifies Gants with Atemble and Nend.
Recently discovered Magɨ appears to be closely related to Aisi. Magɨyi, discovered the same year, is less certain, but may also be a Sogeram language.
