It is spoken by the Maisin people of Oro Province.<br /> [ŋ] and [kʷ] are not phonemic, but are distinguished in the orthography.<br /> Syllables can begin and end with up to one consonant each. I.e., English wrong /rɔŋ/ would be an acceptable word, but strength /streŋθ/ would not. Words can only end in either a vowel or [ŋ]. The vowels /u/ and /o/ never occur word-initially. /β/ never occurs before /o/ or /u/.<br /> Literacy varies from 20% to 80% in different areas.&lt;i&gt;[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=5319690 ..... full article at Wikipedia]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Location of Maisin Language Speakers&lt;/h2&gt;<br /> http://llmap.org/languages/mbq/static_map.png?width=400&amp;height=300&amp;kilroywashere=.png<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;/table&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td valign=top align=right&gt; <br /> &lt;table valign=top&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;table&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h2&gt;Overview&lt;/h2&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;b&gt;Main Country: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;[http://www.freebase.com/view/en/papua_new_guinea Papua New Guinea]&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;b&gt;Spoken In: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Regions: &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;[http:///www.freebase.com/view/en/oceania Oceania] <br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;b&gt;ISO 639-3 Code: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;mbq&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;/table&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Classification Taxonomy&lt;/h2&gt;<br /> [[All Languages]]<br /> <br /> &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;[[Austronesian Group]]<br /> <br /> &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;[[Malayo-Polynesian Group]]<br /> <br /> &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;[[Central-Eastern Group]]<br /> <br /> &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;[[Eastern Malayo-Polynesian Group]]<br /> <br /> &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;[[Oceanic Group]]<br /> <br /> &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;[[Western Oceanic Group]]<br /> <br /> &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;[[Papuan Tip Group]]<br /> <br /> &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;[[Nuclear Papuan Tip Group]]<br /> <br /> &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;[[Maisin Group]]<br /> <br /> &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;[[Maisin Language]]&lt;/b&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;/table&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;/table&gt;<br /> <br /> __NOTOC__</div>
