Daga

The Daga are a Papuan people of the Bird's Tail, the southeastern peninsula of New Guinea, whose speech, also called Dimuga or Nawp, gives its name to the small Dagan family of Trans–New Guinea languages. The Dagan languages are spoken in the Meneao Range and are the easternmost Papuan languages on the New Guinea mainland.

Daga-speaking villages lie in the Rabaraba country of Milne Bay Province and in the Abau country of neighbouring Central Province, where the Daga share the mountains with related peoples such as the Maiwa.
