The Taulil–Butam or Butam–Taulil languages are a possible small language family spoken in East New Britain Province, Papua New Guinea. They were classified as East Papuan languages by Wurm and as Baining languages by others, but this does not now seem tenable.
Languages
The languages are:
- Taulil
- Butam (extinct).
Palmer (2018) considers the Butam–Taulil group to form its independent phylum, separate from the Baining languages.[2] Taulil and Butam speakers had originally migrated from New Ireland.[3]
