Burate is classified as Severely Endangered by theUNESCOAtlas of the World's Languages in Danger. | |
Burate is aPapuan language of theIndonesian province ofPapua, on the eastern shore ofCenderawasih Bay. The specific areas that the Burate language is spoken in include thePapua Provence, theWapoga river mouth, one village of theWaropen Bawah subdistrict, and theYapen Waropen regency.[2]
Burate is lexically similar to theEast Geelvink Bay languages and presumably belongs in that family, but is too poorly attested to be sure.
