The Sori-Harenganische language is a West Manus language that only about 570 people on the islands Sori and Harengan , northwest of the coast of the island of Manus , and on the northwest coast of the island of Manus himself, in Papua New Guinea spoke becomes.
The language is seriously threatened with extinction, as it is being displaced more and more by the official language of Papua New Guinea - English and its Creole variant Tok Pisin . More and more Sori-Harengan speakers speak Tok Pisin as their first language and English as a second language, forgetting more and more their original language Sori-Harengan.
Sori-Harengan has a subject-verb-object word order.
