Abstract

Nungon is a Papuan language of the western, Finisterre, branch of the Finisterre-Huon language family (McElhanon 1973), spoken in Uruwa Ward 1, Kabwum District, Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea. Details on Nungon grammar can be found in Sarvasy (2017), and more resources on various aspects of the language and its functions are in the References here. Nungon is the umbrella term that can be applied to the dialects of the southeastern villages in an oval-shaped dialect continuum with the Uruwa River running through the middle. The dialects of the northeastern villages can be referred to as Yau (Lauver & Wegmann 1994), but traditionally, each village-lect in the Uruwa River valley was referred to by the name of the village community who spoke it.
