Rawo is a Papuan language in the Skou family, spoken on the north coast of Papua New Guinea in the vicinity of the village of Leitre (Laitre) (Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.) in Bewani/Wutung Onei Rural LLG, Sandaun Province.[2][3]

The language of Leitre itself is more closely related to Vanimo. Although Rawo and Leitre are both in the Skou family, they are in different branches of the family.
