Grand Valley Dani, or simply Dani, is one of the most populous Papuan languages in Indonesian New Guinea. The Dani people
live in the Baliem Valley of the Western Highlands. Dialectical differentiation is great enough that Ethnologue assigns separate
codes to three varieties: Lower Mid or Central, also known as Tulem Upper Lower Grand Valley Dani contains subdialects Lower
Grand Valley Hitigima (Dani-Kurima, Kurima), Upper Bele, Lower Bele, Lower Kimbin (Kibin), and Upper Pyramid. The Dani language
differentiates only two basic colours, mili for cool/dark shades such as blue, green, and black, and mola for warm/light colours
such as red, yellow, and white. This trait makes it an interesting field of research for language psychologists, such as Eleanor
Rosch, investigating the Whorf hypothesis. |
