  North Bougainville

TheNorth Bougainville orWest Bougainville languages are a smalllanguage family spoken on the island ofBougainville inPapua New Guinea. They were classified asEast Papuan languages byStephen Wurm, but this no longer seems tenable, and was abandoned inEthnologue (2009).

The family includes the closely related Rotokas and Eivo (Askopan) languages, together with two languages that are more distantly related.

Spoken languages

There are about 9,000 speakers combined for all four North Bougainville languages.[1]
