Definition
- Laua, also known as Labu, is a native language of Papua New Guinea. It is spoken in the Central Province, north and west of Laua according to Ethnologue. Laua now has only one remaining speaker as of 1987, making it nearly extinct. There is little hope of recovering Laua since only one elder speaker remains. The last speaker was registered in 2000. Laua may even be extinct. It is classified as Trans-New Guinea, Southeast Papuan, Mailuan. Note that it is not the same thing as the Labu language of Morobe Province.
