Andai (Meakambut, Pundungum, Wangkai) is an Arafundi language of Papua New Guinea.
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 ( 4°57′11″S 143°35′13″E / 4.953147°S 143.586822°E), Awarem, Imboin ( 4°47′33″S 143°39′41″E / 4.792407°S 143.661468°E), Kaiyam ( 4°55′06″S 143°31′43″E / 4.918344°S 143.528512°E), Kupini ( 4°56′34″S 143°34′52″E / 4.942655°S 143.581077°E), and Namata mountain ( 4°51′38″S 143°35′54″E / 4.860561°S 143.598304°E) villages in Imboin ward, Karawari Rural LLG, East Sepik Province.
