Fas (AKA Momu, Bembi) is the eponymous language of the small Fas language family of Papua New Guinea.
Fas was once mistakenly placed in the Kwomtari family, confusing their classification. Its only demonstrated relative is actually Baibai, with which it is 40% cognate. See Fas languages for details.
