Ndrumbea variously spelled Ndumbea Dubea Drubea and Païta is a New Caledonian language that gave its name to the capital of New Caledonia Nouméa and the neighboring town of Dumbéa. It has been displaced to villages outside the capital with fewer than a thousand speakers remaining. Gordon (1995) estimates that there may only be two or three hundred. The Dubea are the people; the language has been called Naa Dubea (or more precisely Ṇã́ã Ṇḍùmbea) language of Dubea.
