Rawo is a Papuan language in the Skou family, spoken on the north coast of Papua New Guinea in the vicinity of the village of Leitre (Laitre) (2°49′57″S 141°37′27″E / 2.832437°S 141.624155°E) in Bewani/Wutung Onei Rural LLG, Sandaun Province.[2][3]
The language of Leitre itself is more closely related to Vanimo. Although Rawo and Leitre are both in the Skou family, they are in different branches of the family.
