Ambel (Amber), also known as Waigeo after the island where it is primarily spoken, is a heavily Papuan-influenced Austronesian language spoken on the island of Waigeo in the Raja Ampat archipelago near the northwestern tip of West Papua, Indonesia. It is spoken by approximately 1,600 people.[2] It is endangered, as the population is shifting to Papuan Malay and few people born after the year 2000 have any knowledge of the language.[3]
