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:
“Mahomet made the people believe that he would call a hill to him, and from the top of it offer up his prayers for the observers of the Law. The people assembled; Mahomet called the hill to come to him again and again; and when the hill stood still, he was never a whit abashed, but said, If the hill will not come to Mahomet, Mahomet will go to the hill.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
“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)
