About Niavavo
The Rotokas of the Ngupic family - fits into the Mountain language area but is clearly not a part of any constituent family/subfamily. Often assumed to have some relation with Pou Aie but this instead seems to be a matter of ancient contact - the Poi Aie speakers had migrated from the Mountain area in pre-Kwanci-expansion times.
