Watiwa is a Rai Coast language of Papua New Guinea.
It is spoken by some 500 people living in six villages in Madang Province, Papua New Guinea, including Bebei (Script error: No such module "Coordinates".) and Dumpu (Script error: No such module "Coordinates".) villages of Usino Rural LLG.[1][2]
It is more commonly known as Dumpu, but this is the name of one of the six villages, and is not accepted as a name for the language. Surviving mostly as a secret language with which to talk amongst themselves when outsiders are present,[3] the majority of the speakers use Tok Pisin in daily life. Due to its increasingly rare use, it is estimated that this language will be extinct in a few decades.[3]
