Dictionary of Kyaka Enga,
Papua New Guinea
Draper, Norm and Sheila
PL 532
Kyaka is a highly distinctive
dialect of Enga, the largest language of Papua New Guinea
with close to 200,000 speakers. Kyaka is spoken in the Baiyer
River valley and Lumusa Plateau areas north-west of Mount
Hagen in Western Highlands Province. This dictionary is the
first dictionary of Kyaka-Enga and is the most comprehensive
yet produced of any dialect of Enga. The Kyaka-English part
contains a wealth of ethnographic detail and illustrative
examples, recorded during the authors' years of residence
among the Kyaka people. There is an English-Kyaka finder list
and a number of appendices that treat terminologies for various
cultural domains and for flora and fauna.
