Indikatiivilla is a spoken language of Papua New Guinea. It is a member of the Oceanian branch of the Austronesian language family, specifically belonging to the Eastern branch. The language is spoken in the Eastern Highlands Province of Papua New Guinea, particularly in the Kainantu and Goroka districts.

Geographically, Indikatiivilla is spoken primarily in the valleys and foothills of the Finisterre Mountains. The majority of the language's speakers reside in rural areas, often living close to their traditional villages. As a local language, Indikatiivilla holds significant cultural and historical value for the communities that use it.

Indikatiivilla has a relatively simple grammar system, with a focus on verb conjugations and case markings. It is an agglutinative language, meaning that morphemes are added to the root of words to convey grammatical information. The language has a basic sound system, consisting of consonant and vowel phonemes that form simple and complex syllable patterns.

Indikatiivilla is an endangered language due to the ongoing influence of national languages such as Tok Pisin and Hiri Motu. Language contact has resulted in the incorporation of loanwords and linguistic features from the dominant languages, affecting the language's internal uniformity and vitality. Efforts are being made to document and record Indikatiivilla for the purpose of language documentation and preservation.

Language documentation includes both written and audio recordings, which aim to capture the language's vocabulary, grammar, and common expressions. The documentation process also offers an opportunity for language experts and scholars to study the historical and comparative aspects of Indikatiivilla within the broader context of Austronesian languages. The preservation of Indikatiivilla is crucial for the cultural identity and continuity of its speakers.
