The West Trans New Guinea languages are a suggested linkage linguistics linguistic linkage of Papuan languages , not well established as a group, proposed by Malcolm Ross in his 2005 classification of the Trans New Guinea languages . Ross suspects they are an old dialect continuum , because they share numerous features that have not been traced to a single ancestor using comparative historical linguistics. The internal divisions of the languages are also unclear. William Foley linguist William Foley considers the TNG identity of the Irian Highlands languages at least to be established. Classification The West Trans New Guinea languages are a group of small families and isolates within Trans New Guinea which are only tentatively connected. The Irian Highlands families Dani languages Dani and Paniai Lakes languages Paniai Lakes appear to belong together, and the Timor and West Bomberai languages share two probable innovations in their pronouns, compared to the rest of TNG. However, the languages of Timor are essentially a set of language isolates , and the western branch especially is not well supported as a valid family. It can be expected therefore that the membership and internal classification of West Trans New Guinea will continue to be revised. Families that are clearly valid, including isolates, are listed here in boldface . West Trans New Guinea linkage.
