The Lower Mamberamo languages are a recently proposed language family linking two languages spoken along the lower reaches of the Mamberamo River in New Guinea.
The two languages, Warenbori and Yoke (also called Pauwi), were listed as isolates in Stephen Wurm's widely used classification. Recently Mark Donohue has shown them to be very similar and clearly related[1].
