With approximately 510 speakers living in six villages in Papua New Guinea, Dumpu is a little-known Trans–New Guinea language. It is also known as Watifa or Watiwa. Surviving mostly as a secret language with which to talk amongst themselves when outsiders are present, 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.
