Hatam language

Hatam (also spelled Hattam, Atam) is a divergent language spoken on the island of New Guinea, specifically in the Indonesian province of West Papua.

Apart from Mansim (Borai), formerly listed as a dialect, Hatam is not closely related to any other language, and though Ross (2005) tentatively assigned it to the West Papuan languages, based on similarities in pronouns, Ethnologue and Glottolog list it as a language isolate or small independent family.

Hatam is spoken on the island of New Guinea in the following regencies in the Indonesian province of West Papua:

The phonology of the Hatam language is listed below. In free form, both consonant and vowel phonemes can range to different sounds.
