The Sepik Hill languages are a family of northern Papua New Guinea identified by Dye et al. in 1968. A few years later, Donald Laycock included them in the Sepik languages. According to Malcolm Ross (2005), they may include the Papi languages, formerly part of the Walio–Papi proposal.
Famous quotes containing the words hill and/or languages:
““Oh, let’s go up the hill and scare ourselves,
As reckless as the best of them tonight,
By setting fire to all the brush we piled
With pitchy hands to wait for rain or snow....””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“People in places many of us never heard of, whose names we can’t pronounce or even spell, are speaking up for themselves. They speak in languages we once classified as “exotic” but whose mastery is now essential for our diplomats and businessmen. But what they say is very much the same the world over. They want a decent standard of living. They want human dignity and a voice in their own futures. They want their children to grow up strong and healthy and free.”
—Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
