Voorhoeve (1971) connected the Border and Tor familis. The proposal was expanded by Joseph Greenberg to the Sepik, Ramu and Torricelli languages, but this larger version has been rejected by specialists. Using only pronouns as a diagnostic, Malcom Ross linked most of the western branch of the family. The current form of the family was worked out by Timothy Usher under the name 'North New Guinea',[1] not to be confused with the proposed North New Guinea branch of the Austronesian language family.

The western branch is equivalent to Ross's Tor–Kwerba family with the addition of Nimboran. Søren Wichmann (2013)[2] considers Nimboran, Kapauri, Border, and possibly also Elseng to form a unified language family.
