Gnau is a language spoken in Papua New Guinea. It is part of the Torricelli language family. "Gnau" is the word for "no" in the language, and was named this via naming by convention.[2] The Gnau people do not identify themselves as a unified group across multiple settlements, despite their shared language.[3]
