Dibiyaso a.k.a. Bainapi is a Papuan language of Western Province, Papua New Guinea (Bamustu, Makapa, and Pikiwa villages).
It is sometimes classified with the Bosavi languages. Søren Wichmann (2013) [2] tentatively considers it to be a separate, independent group. Pawley and Hammarström (2018) note that similarities between Bosavi and Dibiyaso are likely due to loanwords, therefore leaving Dibiyaso as unclassified. [3]
There is 19% lexical cognacy with Turumsa, suggesting contact or perhaps even a genetic relationship with Doso–Turumsa. [4]
Dibiyaso is spoken in Bamustu ( 7°54′02″S 142°58′57″E / 7.900569°S 142.982551°E), Makapa ( 7°56′16″S 142°34′34″E / 7.937872°S 142.576135°E), and Pikiwa ( 7°54′20″S 142°43′02″E / 7.905445°S 142.717106°E) villages of Gogodala Rural LLG, Western Province, Papua New Guinea. [1] [5]
