Kenati language


Kenati is a poorly documented Papuan language spoken by only about 950 people in Papua New Guinea. It is also known as Aziana, Ganati, Kenathi. Specifically, it is spoken in 3 villages located in the Eastern Highlands Province, in the Wonenara District of Papua New Guinea.
Wurm placed it in his East New Guinea Highlands family as an independent branch. Ross could not find enough evidence to confirm this, and left it unclassified. However, Ethnologue classified it more specifically with the Kainantu languages, another branch of Wurm's East Highlands.
