The Walio languages are a small family of clearly related languages,

Walio, Pei, Yawiyo, and Tuwari,

though they are not close: Walio and Yawiyo have only a 12% lexical similarity.[2] They are frequently classified among the Sepik languages of northern Papua New Guinea, though Glottolog leaves them out.
