Definisi & Makna dari "Torricelli languages

What are "Torricelli languages"?

Torricelli languages are a family of Papuan languages spoken primarily in the northwestern part of Papua New Guinea, particularly in the Torricelli Mountains. This language family includes several languages, such as Arapesh, Bo, and Kwanga. Torricelli languages are known for their diverse grammatical structures, which often include complex verb systems and rich morphological patterns. These languages are spoken by relatively small communities, many of which are isolated due to the region's rugged terrain. The study of Torricelli languages offers valuable insights into the linguistic diversity of Papua New Guinea, one of the most linguistically diverse regions in the world, as well as the cultural practices and social structures of the people who speak them.
