Usher (2020) found that it was one of the West Pauwasi languages, though divergent from the other two branches of that family.[2] Foley (2018) classifies Usku as a language isolate.[3]An automated computational analysis (ASJP 4) by M\u00fcller et al. (2013)[4] found lexical similarities between Usku and Kaure. However, since the analysis was automatically generated, the grouping could be either due to mutual lexical borrowing or genetic inheritance.Table of Contents       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Basic vocabulary[edit]Morphology[edit]Sentences[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Basic vocabulary[edit]Basic vocabulary of Usku from Im (2006), quoted by Foley (2018):[5][3]Usku basic vocabularyglossUsku\u2018bird\u2019rkwe\u2018blood\u2019misie\u2018bone\u2019kra\u2018breast\u2019mi\u2018ear\u2019bekria\u2018eat\u2019nggreka\u2018egg\u2019kri\u2018eye\u2019nifi\u2018fire\u2019yo\u2018give\u2019roti\u2018go\u2019rifri\u2018ground\u2019ta\u0294\u2018hair\u2019klekondia\u2018hear\u2019yukri\u2018I\u2019o\u2018leg\u2019nafu\u2018louse\u2019nimi\u2018man\u2019na\u2018moon\u2019menggrine\u2018name\u2019t\u0259kwar\u2018one\u2019kuskafi\u2018road, path\u2019tra\u2018see\u2019fra\u2018sky\u2019mumgre\u2018stone\u2019pani\u2018sun\u2019winene\u2018tongue\u2019bra\u2018tooth\u2019ninggre\u2018tree\u2019ninani\u2018two\u2019narse\u2018water\u2019a\/\u00e6\u2018we\u2019no\u2018woman\u2019ria\u2018you (sg)\u2019po\u2018you (pl)\u2019soThe following basic vocabulary words are from the Trans-New Guinea database:[6]glossUskuheadfleklehairflekle-kundaearbeiklieyenifitoothne\u014bkletonguebralegnafulousenimibirdlokweeggklebloodkla; misebonekla; miskinninje; ninyebreastkiombratreewelimanmekenja; mekenyawomanjomiasunneimoonme\u014bgernewatereifirejo; yostonepaneroad, pathtraeatkepoonekisifainitwonarnaMorphology[edit]Usku morphology as inferred by Foley (2018):[3]Sentences[edit]Word order in Usku is SOV.[3]Some of the few documented sentences in Usku are:[3](1)e wang o ai se roti-mo3 money 1SG father DAT give-TNS\u2018She gave money to my father.\u2019(2)e kompong se rifli-mo3 village DAT go-TNS\u2018He went to the village.\u2019(3)k\u0268nmar kompong e duar-moperson village ABL come-TNS\u2018That person came from the village.\u2019(4)k\u0268nmar mra-mu ya-muperson dog-ERG\/FOC? bite-TNS\u2018The dog bit that person.\u2019References[edit]^ Usku at Ethnologue (18th ed., 2015) (subscription required)^ New Guinea World^ a b c d e Foley, William A.
