Wutung (Udung), Musu and Nyao are dialects of a unnamed Skou language of Papua New Guinea. They are spoken in Bewani/Wutung Onei Rural LLG of Sandaun Province.

Sangke and the language of several other villages of the interior are reported to be similar, and may be dialects.

Tok Pisin and English are widely spoken in the area, and many Wutung people speak Indonesian too.[2][3]
