Turumsa is a possibly extinct Papuan language of Makapa village ( [ ⚑ ] 7°56′16″S 142°34′34″E / 7.937872°S 142.576135°E) in Gogodala Rural LLG, Middle Fly District, Papua New Guinea.[1][3] It has been classified as a Bosavi language, and is 19% lexically similar with Dibiyaso, but this appears to be due to loans. It has a greater (61%) lexical similarity with Doso, its only clear relative.[4]
There were only five elderly speakers found in 2002. Today, most people in Makapa village speak Dibiyaso.[5]
