Nukuma languages

The Nukuma languages are a small family of three clearly related languages:
 * Kwoma
 * Kwanga–Mende
 * Kwanga
 * Seim

They are generally classified among the Sepik languages of northern Papua New Guinea; Malcolm Ross places them in a Middle Sepik branch of that family.

They are spoken to the north of the Sepik River near Ambunti, and west of the Ambulas-speaking region of Mapr (near Wosera town).
