It is the feature of language universality. The emergence of new vocabulary reflects the language openness to influence from another language and the language of the receiver will develop. Such influence occurred in four languages of Arfak mountains in Manokwari. Linguistic adaptation occurred due to language contact amongst the speakers within the area. The language of Biak, Mansinam, Hatam, and Mansim Borai were the subject to study. Lexicostatistic method upon two hundred vocabularies of each language was used to determine the relationship among those languages. Sound changes upon the sets of cognate words or sets of words assumed to derive from the same source show the occurrence of linguistic adaptation as the result of language contact. Linguistic adaptation found was prothesis, epenthesis, paragoge, aphaeresis, syncope, apocope, and sound variations in the four languages. The most linguistic adaptation occurred was sound variations, prothesis, aphaeresis, and apocope. The highest percentage of linguistic adaptation was found in Biak language and Mansinam language and between Mansim Borai language and Hatam language. Key words: speakers, language contact, acculturation, linguistic adaptation Abstrak SALING pengaruh antara satu bahasa dengan bahasa yang lain dapat dilihat melalui kosakata yang dipungut oleh bahasa tertentu.
