Andarum is a Ramu language of Papua New Guinea. Together with closely related Kanggape, there were about 4,000 speakers in 2000. [1]

According to an earlier classification, it belonged to the Ataitan languages (now renamed tanggu) and to the broader goam group, which also included 7 Tamolan languages, of which itutang (mzu) lost its status and was annexed to inapang [mzu] as its dialect.

It is related to the Kanggape language [igm]. Members of the ethnic group are called Andarum. [2]
