The Orya–Tor languages are a family of just over a dozen Papuan languages spoken in Western New Guinea, Indonesia.

Classification

The Tor family, named after the Tor River, is clearly established. Its closest relative appears to be Orya.

Stephen Wurm (1975) linked Orya and the Tor languages with the Lakes Plain languages, forming a branch of his Trans–New Guinea phylum. Clouse (1997) found no evidence of such a connection.[1] Malcolm Ross (2005) linked them instead with part of another erstwhile branch of TNG in a Tor–Kwerba proposal, and Usher makes a broadly similar proposal. Glottolog accepts only the link with Orya as having been demonstrated.[2]

Languages

Foley (2018)

Foley (2018) provides the following classification.[3]

Tor

Orya (Uria / Warpok / Warpu)

Sause (Seuce) (?)

Berik (Upper Tor)

Itik

Kwesten

Mander [not a distinct language]

Dineor (Maremgi)

Wares [doesn't exist]

Bonerif (Benaraf / Edwas – not the same language)

Dabe

Jofotek-Bromnya

Keijar (Keder)

Kwinsu (Ansudu)

Betaf (Tena)

Vitou (Takar)

Foley considers the inclusion of Sause within the Tor family to be questionable due to insufficient lexical evidence.[3] See Kapauri–Sause languages.

Usher (2020)

Timothy Usher provides the following classification:[4]

Orya – Tor River

Orya

Tor River

Maremgi (Dineor)

Edwas (Benaraf)

Berik–Bonerif
East Tor River

Jofotek (Mander)

Itik

Tor Coast

Kwesten

Dabe

Keijar

East Tor Coast

Kwinsu

Fitou–Tena

Tena (Betaf)

Fitou (Vitou)

Jofotek and Mander are found to be the same language, whereas the ISO conflation of Edwas and Bonerif is found to be spurious. A Wares language is not attested. (The Wares people are not known to have a distinct language, and the language of the village of Wares is Mawes.)[5]

Proto-language

Phonemes

Usher (2020) reconstructs the consonant inventory tentatively as follows:[4]

*m *n
*p *t *s *k *kʷ
*b *d *dz *gʷ
*w

The stop *d is marginal and only occurs initially. *ɾ does not occur initially.

*i *u
*e *o
*a

Pronouns

The pronouns Ross reconstructs for proto-Orya–Tor are,

I *ai exclusive we ?
inclusive we *ne
thou *emei you *em
s/he *je they ?

Usher (2020) reconstructs the pronouns of the East Tor Coast branch as:[4]

East Tor Coast
sg pl
1excl *ai/ana *ai-saise (?)
1incl *ne-saise (?)
2 *im[i] *im[i]-saise
3 *dei *dei-saise

Basic vocabulary

Some lexical reconstructions by Usher (2020) are:[4]

gloss Proto-Orya-Tor River Proto-Tor River Orya
head *nəbaɾ *nəbaɾ
leaf/hair *aɾ[ɛ/a][n/ŋ] *aɾ[ɛ/a][n/ŋ] ala
