There are three files in this bundle. They list all Papuan languages and families:
Papuan_families_Glottocodes.txt
Papuan_families_names.csv
Papuan_languages.csv
Papuan_families.csv lists all Papuan language families and isolates.
It was generated from the listing at https://glottolog.org/glottolog/family by first filtering for the macro-area Papunesia.
The following families were removed in order to come up with a listing of just Papuan families and isolates:
Austronesian Top-level family Africa, Eurasia, Papunesia, South America 747 1272
Indo-European Top-level family Africa, Australia, Eurasia, North America, Papunesia, South America 346 585
Bookkeeping Top-level family Africa, Australia, Eurasia, North America, Papunesia, South America 1 390
Sign Language Top-level family Africa, Australia, Eurasia, North America, Papunesia, South America 50 223
Unclassifiable Top-level family Africa, Australia, Eurasia, North America, Papunesia, South America 0 121

The result is 71 families and 52 isolates

Notes on Hedvig's original file by herself:
" Malcolm Ross suggested an area called "New Guinea Region", and I've made a table of languages in glottolog 4.8 tagged for this. I find it useful when discussions of "Papuan" languages are brought up, as languages inside of this area that aren't Austronesian is often what people mean by the label. It's still useful to break down by smaller regions and families most of the time.
Notes:
I've followed Ross' illustrations as closely as I can
Guadacanal, Nggela and Temotu are not included in NG area
Talbot and Saibai are not included
Polynesian languages Takuu and Nukuria are included, as far as I can tell. If you don't want them included, remove them.
Kusini is included
I only tagged this for languages in glottolog, not families or dialects
Languages without Longitude Latitude weren't tagged
