Hanseman languages
The Hanseman languages are a group of relatively closely related languages in New Guinea, spoken in the Hansemann Range of mountains. "Closely related" is relative to the situation in New Guinea. Ethnologue notes that Wagi, for example, may be most closely related to Nobonob, yet they are only 30% lexically similar.
