Andai (Pundungum, Wangkai) is an Arafundi language of Papua New Guinea. Meakambut may be identical, but due to lack of data this cannot be determined with certainty.
Locations
[edit | edit source]Kassell, et al. (2018) list Namata, Kupina, Kaiyam, Andambit, and Awarem as the villages where Nanubae is spoken.[2] In the Andai area, the Mongolo (or Meakambut, after one of their former villages) people, a group of about 50–60 people, live east of the Arafundi River; Kassell, et al. (2018) believe this may be a separate ethnolinguistic group.[2]
According to Ethnologue, it is spoken in Andambit (Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.), Awarem, Imboin (Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.), Kaiyam (Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.), Kupini (Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.), and Namata mountain (Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.) villages in Imboin ward, Karawari Rural LLG, East Sepik Province.[1][3]
