Nama is a Papuan language spoken by around 1200 people in the
Morehead district of southern New Guinea. It is a member of the
Nambu subgroup of the Yam family of languages (also known as the
Morehead-Upper Maro family). This grammar is the first published
comprehensive description of a language in this subgroup. Nama has
an interesting complex morphology with 21 nominal suffixes (17
case-marking) and 31 verbal prefixes and suffixes, indexing
arguments (person/number) and indicating tense (current, recent,
remote) and aspect (perfective/imperfective, inceptive, punctual,
delimited, durative). Nama also has some linguistic features that
are either very rare or not attested in other languages.
