Musom is an Austronesian language spoken in the single village of Musom (6°41′01″S 147°06′52″E / 6.683574°S 147.11452°E) in Labuta Rural LLG, Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea.[2] Musom is currently an endangered language due to the fact that native Musom speakers are continuing to marry other language speakers.[3] Musom is also endangered because of its change in grammar and vocabulary due to its bi- and multilingualism.[3]
