The Awin–Pa or Awin–Pare languages are a small family of the Trans–New Guinea languages (TNG) in the classification of Malcolm Ross. Stephen Wurm (1975) added them to an expanded Central and South New Guinea branch of TNG, a position reversed by Ross (2005).
The languages are just two, Aekyowm (Awin) and Pare (Pa), and closely related to each other, perhaps even a dialect cluster. The pronouns appear to have been:
-
sg du pl 1 *na *ni *ne 2 *go *gi *ge 3 *ya
(The dual and plural forms are rather uncertain.)
