Kokoda language

Papuan language From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kokoda is a Papuan language of the Bird's Head Peninsula spoken by the Kokoda (Emeyode) people of Kokoda District, South Sorong Regency, Southwest Papua. The four dialects — Kokoda proper, Kasuweri, Tarof, and Yamueti — are divergent enough to sometimes be considered separate languages.
