Hagahai, also known as Pinai, is one of two languages of the Piawi family of New Guinea.
Speakers in Enga Province use the name Pinai for all Pinai-Hagahai speakers. Those in Madang use Hagahai, at least for themselves. Exonyms include Wapi and Miamia in Enga and Aramo in Haruai.
Dialects are divergent, but speakers have a common identity.
