Inanwatan–Duriankere or Inanwatan is a small language family of western New Guinea, consisting of two languages:
- Inanwatan
- Duriankere
Although traditionally classified as part of the South Bird's Head family, it is classified by Glottolog 4.0 as an independent language family.
Noting low cognacy rates, Holton and Klamer (2018) tentatively consider Inanwatan–Duriankere, as well as Konda–Yahadian and the Nuclear South Bird's Head family to each be independent language families until further evidence can be demonstrated.[2]
