Awbono or Awban is a Papuan language spoken in the south of Jayawijaya Mountains, specifically in Awban Village, Kolf Brazza District, Asmat Regency, South Papua, Indonesia.[2] All that is known of Awbono is a few hundred words recorded in first-contact situations recorded in Wilbrink (2004)[3] and Hischier (2006).[4]

An Awbono word list from Jacky Menanti is published in Wilbrink (2004).[3]

Densar, which is poorly attested, may be closely related.[5]
