The Kamoro language is an Asmat–Kamoro language spoken in Western New Guinea, specifically in Mimika Regency, Central Papua by approximately 8,000 people. Dialect diversity is notable, and Kamoro should perhaps not be considered a single language.[1]
Varieties
'Dialects' are as follows.[1]
- Yamur (far west around Yamur Lake and Etna Bay)
- Western (Japakòparè, Kéàkwa and Umari Rivers, 450 speakers in 1953)
- Tarjà (Opa River, 500 speakers in 1953)
