Kaluli is a language spoken in Papua New Guinea. It is a developing language with 3,100 speakers.[2] Some people refer to this language as Bosavi, however the people themselves refer to the language as Kaluli.[3] There are four dialects, Ologo, Kaluli, Walulu, and Kugenesi. The differences between the dialects are not clear.[2] Their writing system uses the Latin script. Kaluli belongs to the Trans-New Guinea language family.[3] Kaluli was first analyzed by Murray Rule in 1964 who wrote a preliminary phonological and morphological analysis.[3] A dictionary of Kaluli has been compiled by Schieffelin and Feld (1998).[4]
