Saweru is a Papuan language closely related to Yawa of central Yapen Island in Geelvink (Cenderawasih) Bay, Indonesia, of which it is sometimes considered a dialect.
It is spoken on Serui Island just offshore.
Unlike Yawa, Saweru lacks an inclusive-exclusive distinction for the first person plural pronoun.
Saweru has amai 'we', while Yawa has ream 'we (exclusive)' and wam 'we (inclusive)'.
