Iwam languages

New Guinea and Pacific Language Families

The Iwam languages are a small family of two closely related languages, May River Iwam and Sepik Iwam, generally classified among the Sepik languages of northern Papua New Guinea, with Malcolm Ross placing them in an Upper Sepik branch of that family. They are spoken at the extreme western end of East Sepik Province along the Upper Sepik River, just west of the Left May languages.
