Suarmin, or Asabano, is a Sepik language spoken in Sandaun Province, Papua-New Guinea. Alternative names are Akiapmin, Duranmin. Glottolog leaves it unclassified:

Typological arguments are not sufficient to conclude a Leonard Schultze family with Walio. Neither is the shared animate-suffix with Walio conclusive of a genetic relation. The lexical evidence does not show any conclusive genetic relationship either, be it inside or outside Leon[h]ard Schultze, or with Papi (a higher figure (29%) of Papi–Duranmin lexicostatistical relations ... is superseded by later, below 10%, figures...).
