The Grass AKA Keram languages are a small family of clearly related languages, * Banaro * Grass proper: Aion, Adjora (Abu), and Gorovu. Laycock (1973) noted that Banaro was lexically divergent, and therefore grouped it with the Grass family in a higher-level Grass stock, a position accepted by Pawley (2005). The inclusion of Kambot is no longer accepted. The Grass family is generally classified among the Ramu languages of northern Papua New Guinea. However, Glottolog breaks it up, with only Abu (Adora) and Gorovu kept together (in a "Agoan" branch), and Banaro left unclassified.
