Oksapmin is a Trans–New Guinea language spoken in Telefomin District Sandaun Papua New Guinea. It has been influenced by the Ok languages (indeed the name Oksapmin is from an Ok language) and the similarities with those languages were attributed to borrowing in the classifications of both Stephen Wurm (1975) and Malcolm Ross (2005) where Oksapmin was placed as an independent branch of Trans–New Guinea.
