Angaatiha (also known as Angaatiya, Angaataha, or Langimar) is the most divergent of the Angan languages in the Trans-New Guinea language family. It is native to the Menyanya District of Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea. As of 2015 it was estimated that there were 2,500 speakers.[1] Ethnic speakers of the region who speak Angaatiha are called Angaatiya.[citation needed] The status of the language is categorized as a level 5 developing language.[1] Its ISO code is agm.[2]

Like most languages spoken in Papua New Guinea, Angaatiha contains the subject-object-verb word order[3] and utilizes the Latin script.[1]

The Angaatiha language is notable for its usage of varying pragmatic sequencing dependent on whether a sentence contains temporal or logical information.[4]
