Adjora (Adjoria, Azao) a.k.a. Abu is a Ramu language of Papua New Guinea.
A supposed dialect, Auwa, apparently with few speakers, may be a distinct language.
Sociolinguistics[edit]
Many Adjora words have been borrowed by Tayap, a nearby language isolate that is spoken just to the west of the Adjora area.[2]: 350
