Simbari or Chimbari is an Angan language of Papua New Guinea.[2]: 63 

There are at least two dialects of Simbari. The Simbari language is partly cognate with Baruya.[3]

Simbari is spoken by the Simbari people. Simbari culture and society have received extensive anthropological studies, especially by Gilbert Herdt.[4][5]
