Papi (Paupe) is an alleged Sepik language spoken in East Sepik Province, Papua New Guinea. Glottolog leaves it unclassified:[2]
- Typological arguments are not sufficient to conclude a Leonard Schultze family with Walio. The lexical evidence does not show any conclusive genetic relationship either, be it inside or outside Leon[h]ard Schultze, or with Duranmin (a higher figure (29%) of Papi–Duranmin lexicostatistical relations ... is superseded by later, below 10%, figures...).
It is spoken in the single village of Paupe (4°34′37″S 141°57′42″E / 4.576892°S 141.961762°E) in Tunap-Hunstein Rural LLG of East Sepik Province.[3][4]
