Wanib Sign Language is a reported sign language, possibly a village sign language, in a Heyo-speaking community of Papua New Guinea. It's spoken just to the west of Mehek Sign Language, but the two languages reflect the very different spoken languages of their communities: Wanib SL follows the SVO word order of Heyo, whereas Mehek SL follows the SOV word order of Mehek.{{cite book|last1=Reed|first1=Laura|last2=Rumsey|first2=Alan|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=X0fODwAAQBAJ&pg=PA141|year=2019|title=Sign Languages in Papua New Guinea and the Solomon|page=150|publisher=John Benjamins Publishing Company |isbn=9789027261823 }}
