Yuat River
The Yuat is the major tributary of the Sepik River in northern Papua New Guinea. The Yuat is on the right (southern) side and joins the Sepik about 20 linear km upstream from the Keram River, and just downstream from the Chambri Lakes. The eponymous Yuat and Upper Yuat languages are spoken along the banks of the Yuat River.[1]
