Nai is one of the Kwomtari languages. However, due to an alignment error in the published data, Nai (as ''Biaka'') was mistakenly placed in a spurious "Baibai" family with the Fas language Baibai; this was then linked back to the Kwomtari family as "Kwomtari–Baibai". (See Kwomtari–Fas languages for details.)
==Locations== Ethnologue lists Biaka-speaking villages in Green River Rural LLG, (formerly within Amanab District), Sandaun Province, in three villages: Konabasi ({{coord|-3.735029|141.292563|type:city_region:PG|name=Konabasi}}), Biaka ({{coord|-3.740668|141.282054|type:city_region:PG|name=Biaka}}), and Amini ({{coord|-3.823409|141.202454|type:city_region:PG|name=Aminii}}).
