Karami is an extinct and unclassified Papuan language of southern Papua New Guinea.
[3] According to Flint (1919: 96), from which the only existing word list of Karami is available, Karami was spoken in the villages of Kikimairi and Aduahai, both located near Daru Station, "on the right-hand side (in the bush) of left branch of the Turama River, Western Division, Papua.
"[4] Although Franklin (1968; 1973: 269-273) classifies Karami as an Inland Gulf language,[5][6] Usher and Suter (2015: 125) do not consider it to be part of the Anim languages, noting that there are many loanwords from Foia Foia.
[7] Pawley and Hammarström (2018) treat Karami as a 'language isolate', though this is the wording used for languages that are not easily classified.
[8] Below is the word list of Karami from Flint (1919), which was recorded on October 12, 1917.
