Magɨ language
Magɨ is a moribund Papuan language spoken in Madang Province, Papua New Guinea. In 2016 it had about 50 native speakers. The language was discovered in 2012 and is spoken in Wanang, a village that hosts a field site for the New Guinea Binatang Research Center. Magɨ is most closely related to the Aisi language; together they form the Aisian subgroup within the Sogeram branch of Trans-New Guinea. Language codes: ISO 639-3 gkd; Glottolog magi1243. A 100-item Swadesh list comparing Magɨ and Aisi was published by Daniels in 2016.
