Although Franklin (1968; 1973: 269-273) classifies Karami as an
Inland Gulf language, Usher and Suter (2015: 125) do not consider it to be part of the
Anim languages, noting that there are many loanwords from
Foia Foia. Pawley and Hammarström (2018) treat Karami as a 'language isolate', though this is the wording used for languages that are not easily classified. ==Vocabulary==
