Duwet, also known as Guwot or Waing, is an aberrant member of the Busu subgroup of Lower Markham languages in Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea. Duwet is spoken by about 400 people and appears to have been heavily influenced by its neighboring Nabak language (also called Wain) of the Papuan Trans–New Guinea languages. It is spoken in the three villages of Lambaip, Lawasumbileng, and Ninggiet.

Duwet is spoken in the three villages of Lambaip (6.460583°S 146.91932°E / -6.460583; 146.91932 (Lambaip)), Lawasumbileng, and Ninggiet in Nabak Rural LLG.
