Yambes language
Torricelli language of Papua New Guinea
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yambes is a Torricelli language of Papua New Guinea spoken mostly by older adults. There is little data to classify it, and it is therefore left unclassified within Torricelli by Malcolm Ross (2005). Dryer (2024),[2] as cited in Drinfield (2024),[3] classifies it as a Kombioic language.
