Yele – West New Britain is a tentative language family proposal by Malcolm Ross that unites three languages: Anêm and Ata (Wasi) of western New Britain, and more dubiously Yélî Dnye (Yele) of Rossel Island.
These were classified as East Papuan languages by Stephen Wurm, but this does not now seem tenable.
While Anêm and Ata do appear to be related, Yele may turn out to be an Austronesian language.
The evidence for the Yele – West New Britain family comes from the pronouns.
Anêm and Ata make a distinction between inclusive and exclusive we.
