The Teberan–Pawaian languages, or Tua River languages, are a family of Papuan languages, established by Timothy Usher, that are spoken in the region of the Tua River. They are the Teberan languages and the Wiru and Pawaia isolates.[1] Teberan and Pawaian had previously been linked, along with the East Kutubuan languages, in Wurm's 1975 Trans-Murray branch of Trans–New Guinea.
