'''Nete''', also known as '''Bisorio''', '''Malamauda''', or '''Iniai''', is an [[Engan language]] spoken in [[Papua New Guinea]].<br />
<br />
== Classification ==<br />
Glottolog classifies Nete and Bisorio as two languages within Outer Engan, a divergent group situated northward across the [[New Guinea Highlands|Central Range]] from the main [[Engan languages|Engan]]-speaking area, located in [[Enga Province]]. The purported language Bikaru, spoken at the head of the Korosamen River adjacent to the Nete dialect-speaking area, is a dialect of Bisorio fully mutually intelligible with the rest of the language.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www-01.sil.org/pacific/png/maps/ESP_small.jpg|title=SIL Map of East Sepik area languages|access-date=2017-11-16|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151124021955/http://www-01.sil.org/pacific/png/maps/ESP_small.jpg|archive-date=2015-11-24|url-status=dead}}</ref><br />
