North Ambrym language
Today there are two main dialects of North Ambrym, levelled from a previous five or six due to population movements towards the coast.Dynamic intransitive verbs can take preposition phrases as oblique arguments and a subset can have their valency changed by the applicative suffix Ci-.Stative/inchoative intransitive verbs select a patient subject, and are interpreted as stative or inchoative depending on the aspect marking.A subset of stative/inchoative verbs can be transitivised with the transitive suffix -ne, which also makes the subject the agent.[2] Non-verbal predicates are also possible in topic-comment constructions, and have to include the topic marker nge.
