Nai Biaka Spoken in Papua New Guinea Native speakers 595 (SIL 2003) (date missing) Language family Kwomtari- Kwomtari–Nai
- Nai
Language codes ISO 639-3 bio Nai or Biaka is a language of Papua New Guinea. It is spoken in Amanab District, Sandaun Province, in three villages: Konabasi, Biaka, and Amini.
Due to an alignment error in the published data, Nai (as Biaka) was mistakenly placed in a spurious family with the Fas language Baibai; this was then linked back to the Kwomtari family as "Kwomtari–Baibai". (See Kwomtari–Fas languages for details.)
