Papuan.

I know your interests.

Further on that note, I have a hunch that it’s from the Sogeram family. Is that correct?

Nope.

Nope.

Yeah, I realised this on looking further into it. The sample text has no ⟨ŋ⟩, which would be unlikely for a Sogeram language.

Is it at least Trans–New Guinea?

No.

Very obviously Papuan. Torricelli?

Nay

Pity, Torricelli was going to be my next guess too.

Is it by any chance spoken in north-western New Guinea?

EDIT: Let’s stipulate that ‘north-western New Guinea’ includes Papua and Central Papua provinces.

Damn. Spoken in Sandaun?

Yes.

(I guess that overrides brad's question too)

Namia?

EDIT: Scratch that, these are barred i's, meaning this is Pouye.

He already said it’s not TNG.

EDIT: wow, apparently there are two Namias in New Guinea.

EDIT EDIT: no, the TNG one is Namiae. I should learn to read.

In any case, Namia seems unlikely to me. Could it be Border?

It is indeed Pouye.
