Sgi Bara (Jilim) is a Rai Coast language spoken in Madang Province, Papua New Guinea in the northwestern foothills of the Finisterre Range, near Astrolabe Bay. The language’s speakers, who probably number around 700, primarily live in the three villages of Albu, Dumbu, and Jilim. Communities in northern Papua New Guinea have been shifting to Tok Pisin for decades.^[2]
