Bine, also known as Pine, Kunini, Masingara or Oriomo (a name shared with Wipi),[2] is a Papuan language of New Guinea.
Glottolog lists the following varieties: Boze-Giringarede, Irupi-Drageli, Kunini, Masingle, Sebe, Sogal and Täti.
In the some dialects, such as the Boze-Giringarede, Täti, Sogal, and Masigle variants, /l/ has rhotacised to become /r/.
Other dialects, such as the Kunini, Irupi-Drageli and Sebe variants, on the other hand, have not undergone this change and have preserved the original /l/.
(compare the Masingle, Kunini and Täti variants ʔiyeʔiye meaning 'tomorrow' and the first person singular pronoun ʔane, to their equivalents kiyekiye and kane in the Irupi-Drageli, Sebe and Sogal variants) Some dialects use both phonemes.
in both the Masingle and the Irupi-Drageli variants, /æ/ has backened to /ɑ/ (æibi, to paddle becomes ɑibi)[4] Agedna cabu ca, Acejiyame te dume piiyepu gawe jaawenuji.
