Yale, also known as Yade, Nagatman, or Nagatiman, is a language spoken in northwestern Papua New Guinea, chiefly in the village of Nagatiman and several other villages of Green River Rural LLG in Sandaun Province. It had 600 speakers recorded in 1991, including 30 monolinguals; linguist Bill Palmer classifies it as a language isolate, though it may be related to the Kwomtari languages, and it is in extensive trade contact with the likely isolate Busa spoken just to its south.
