The dozen Patpatar–Tolai languages are a group of New Ireland languages spoken on the island of New Ireland in Papua New Guinea.
Components
A 2008 analysis of the Austronesian Basic Vocabulary Database found that Minigir, of the Mono–Uruava languages, is closer to Kuanua than Kuanua is to the other Patpatar–Tolai languages. The Mono–Uruava languages will therefore be included here, though the other languages were not evaluated.
- Siar-Lak
- Patpatar–Minigir
- Patpatar
- Kuanua–Minigir
- Kuanua
- Lungalunga (Minigir, of the Mono–Uruava languages)
The other Mono–Uruava languages are Mono, Torau, and Uruava.
The other traditional Patpatar–Tolai languages are Guramalum, Konomala, Kandas, Label, Ramoaaina, Sursurunga, and Tangga.
