The Dọrêmì languages is a language family of polysyllabic tonal languages mostly native to Imrnga. It has two subbranches corresponding to different syllable shapes, called the Dọ branch and the Ùt branch in Dọrêmì linguistics from the words for '1' (proto-form *Tùt maybe) Proto-Dọrêmì was a polysyllabized monosyllabic tonal language with many homophonous morphemes, much like Mandarin.
