* Walio
* Papi

The Leonhard Schultze or Walio-Papi languages are a proposed family of about 6 Papuan languages spoken in the Sepik river basin of northern Papua New Guinea. They are spoken along the border region of East Sepik Province and Sandaun Province, just to the south of the Iwam languages.

The languages are named after German anthropologist Leonhard Schultze.

## Languages

The Leonard Schultze languages are:

* Walio languages: Walio, Pei, Yawiyo, and Tuwari
* Papi languages: Papi and Suarmin

Glottolog 3.4 classifies the Walio and Papi languages each as independent families.

## Classification

The Leonhard Schultze languages were traditionally classified by Laycock and Z'graggen (1975) as part of the Sepik language family.[1]

Foley (2018) classifies the Leonhard Schultze languages separately as an independent language family rather than as part of the Sepik languages (as in previous classifications proposed by others).[2] However, this classification is not accepted by Glottolog, which splits up the Walio and Papi branches and considers them each to be a primary language family.
