Duriankari, or Duriankere, is a possibly extinct
Raja Ampat Archipelago and is adjacent to the Bird's Head Peninsula
of the West Papuan mainland.
It was observed in the 1950s that its speakers were
Inanwatan. The Inanwatan language is spoken in a few villages over 150 kilometres to the east (as well as by a smaller community across the Sele Strait from Duriankari in the village of Seget). The Inanwatan people there regard the Duriankari as descendants of Inanwatans who were carried away so far west by a mythical flood.[4]
A list of words in the language collected by
