Duna (also known as Yuna) is a Papuan language of Papua New Guinea. It may belong to the Trans New Guinea language family and is often further classified as a Duna-Pogaya language, for Bogaya appears to be Duna's closest relative, as evidenced by the similar development of the personal pronouns.[2] Estimates for number of speakers range from 11,000 (1991)[3] to 25,000 (2002).[note 1]
