West Damar, or North Damar, is an Austronesian language of Damar Island, one of the Maluku Islands of Indonesia. In spite of rather low cognacy rates with its neighboring languages, [2] it can be classified as part of the Babar languages based on qualitative evidence. [3]
It is only spoken in the village of Batumerah, [4] located on the north-western part of Damar.
