The Yele language or Yélî Dnye is the language of Rossel island the easternmost island in the Louisiade Archipelago off the eastern tip of Papua New Guinea. There were some 4000 speakers in 1998 the entire ethnic population of which 400 were monoligual. For now it is best considered a language isolate but it may turn out to be related to the Anêm and Ata language isolates of New Britain in a tentative Yele – West New Britain family.
