Mari is an endangered Sepik language spoken in East Sepik Province, Papua New Guinea. It is not used by many children. Although Mari is a language known only by approximately eighty people, it is spoken only within the home.

Recordings of scriptures in the tongue of Mari can be found on the Global Recordings Website whose mission it is to spread the word of the Gospel to dying languages.
