Kokoda language

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

Phonology

  • Sounds /b/, /β/; /d/, /r, ɾ/; and /ɡ/, /ɣ/; tend to vary when between vowels.
