Kassell, et al. (2018) list Namata, Kupina, Kaiyam, Andambit, and Awarem as the villages where Nanubae is spoken.Kassell, Alison, Bonnie MacKenzie and Margaret Potter. 2018. [https://pnglanguages.sil.org/resources/archives/74262 Three Arafundi Languages: A Sociolinguistic Profile of Andai, Nanubae, and Tapei]. SIL Electronic Survey Reports 2017-003. In the Andai area, the Mongolo (or Meakambut, after one of their former villages) people, a group of about 50–60 people, live east of the Arafundi River; Kassell, et al. (2018) believe this may be a separate ethnolinguistic group.
According to Ethnologue, it is spoken in Andambit ({{coord|-4.953147|143.586822|type:city_region:PG|name=Andimbit}}), Awarem, Imboin ({{coord|-4.792407|143.661468|type:city_region:PG|name=Imboin}}), Kaiyam ({{coord|-4.918344|143.528512|type:city_region:PG|name=Kaiyam}}), Kupini ({{coord|-4.942655|143.581077|type:city_region:PG|name=Kupin}}), and Namata mountain ({{coord|-4.860561|143.598304|type:city_region:PG|name=Namata}}) villages in Imboin ward, Karawari Rural LLG, East Sepik Province.{{cite web |url=https://data.humdata.org/dataset/village-coordinates-lookup |title=Papua New Guinea Village Coordinates Lookup |author=United Nations in Papua New Guinea |work=Humanitarian Data Exchange |version=1.31.9 |date=2018}}
