Ipili
Ipili是核心跨新几内亚语系的一种语言，主要分布在巴布亚新几内亚。
Ipili is an Engan language of the East New Guinea Highlands in Enga Province, Papua New Guinea. The name of the language means 'salt-people' in Huli language. There are 26,000 Ipili speakers.
There are two dialects, Porgera-Paiela and Tipinini. The latter is similar to Enga.
