Языки Sogeram - это семья языков на маданской акции Новой Гвинеи. Они названы в честь реки Согерам . ^{[ 1 ]}

В более ранних классификациях, таких как у Вурма, большая часть семьи Согерама называлась «Ванангом» после реки Вананга . Исключениями были Файта, размещенная в качестве отдельной ветви южных языков Адельберта, и мама -Сирва (тогда называемая «Сиканской» семьей), которые были классифицированы с другой ветвью Джозефстаалом ( река Томул ).

Языки

Дэниелс (2016) классифицирует языки Согерама в трех филиалах, в том числе некоторые недавно задокументированные языки. ^{[ 2 ]}

Sogeram

West Sogeram (семья Wurm et al. "Atan")
- Мужчина
- Нерешительный
Central Segeram
- Manat
- Apalɨ
- North Central Sogeram (Sikan): Mum, Sirva
"East" Sogeram
- Gants
- Kursav
- Aisian: Magɨ, Aisi

Daniels (2017), following Pawley, resolves the issue of Gants by classifying it as East Sogeram, closest to Kursav though he refrains from claiming the two languages form a clade. He notes that the name "East Sogeram" is no longer geographically appropriate, as Gants would be the westernmost Sogeram language.^[3]

Recently discovered Magɨyi may also be a Sogeram language, with the forms of identified cognates closest to Mum.^[4]

Because these languages form a chain, where each influences its neighbors, the branching of the family is not clear. Usher divides the languages in nearly the same way, differing only in the placement of Manat:^[1]

Sogeram River
- West Sogeram River
  - Atemple–Nend: Atemble (Atemple, Mand), Nend (Angaua)
  - Paynamar (Manat)
- Central Sogeram River
  - Apali (Emerum)
  - Mum–Sirva: Mum (Katiati), Sileibi (Sirva)
- South Sogeram River
  - Faita (Kulsab/Kursav)
  - Gants
  - Musak (Aisi)
