Aruek is a Torricelli language of Papua New Guinea. There is little data to classify it, and it is therefore left unclassified within Torricelli by Ross (2005).[2] There are no longer any speakers in the one village where it was spoken and people of that village say the language is now extinct.[citation needed]
