Morori language

Morori (Marori, Moaraeri, Moraori, Morari) is a moribund Papuan language of the Kolopom branch of the Trans–New Guinea family. It is separated from the other Kolopom languages by the intrusive Marind family.[3] All speakers use Papuan Malay or Indonesian as L2, and many know Marind.[2]
