Ambelau (Indonesian: Bahasa Ambelau) is an Austronesian language; as of 1989 it was spoken by about 5700 Ambelau people of whom more than 5000 lived on the Indonesian island Ambelau (Indonesian: Pulau Ambelau) and most others in the village Wae Tawa of the nearby island Buru (Indonesian: Pulau Buru).The language belongs to the Central Maluku branch of Malayo-Polynesian languages; there is no consensus in literature on its attribution to a distinct sub-branch e.g. Sula–Buru languages.
