The Lower Mamberamo languages are a recently proposed small language family linking two languages spoken along the northern coast of Papua province, Indonesia, near the mouth of the Mamberamo River: Warembori and Yoke, with the extinct Pauwi possibly also belonging to the group. Their classification is disputed, with some linguists treating them as heavily Papuanized Austronesian languages and others as Papuan languages with strong Austronesian influence.
