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:
“I got my first clear view of Ktaadn, on this excursion, from a hill about two miles northwest of Bangor, whither I went for this purpose. After this I was ready to return to Massachusetts.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The less sophisticated of my forbears avoided foreigners at all costs, for the very good reason that, in their circles, speaking in tongues was commonly a prelude to snake handling. The more tolerant among us regarded foreign languages as a kind of speech impediment that could be overcome by willpower.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
