Map Description:
This map shows some of the village languages along the Upper Digul River, as documented by Hughes's (2009) survey of the area. The survey mainly focused on the Wambon, Tsaukambo, Komyandaret and Nakai languages.
Hughes (200) further mentions that there is a village - Tangop - where the language Sait is spoke, which is located somewhere north of Gaguop in the hills. East of Manggelum a language identified as Namá is spoken in the village Kuken while the language Kitum is spoken in both Kuken and another village, Moget. Hughes has no coordinates for these places, and it has not been possible to locate them through the NGA geospatial database.
Hughes was able to find coordinates for four Na'i speaking villages in an aerial survey, which are also shown on the map.
