The Madang or Madang–Adelbert Range languages are a language family of Papua New Guinea. They were classified as a branch of Trans–New Guinea by Stephen Wurm, followed by Malcolm Ross. William A. Foley concurs that it is "highly likely" that the Madang languages are part of TNG, although the pronouns, the usual basis for classification in TNG, have been "replaced" in Madang. Timothy Usher finds that Madang is closest to the Upper Yuat River languages and other families to its west, but does not for now address whether this larger group forms part of the TNG family.
Kabwum District is a district of the Morobe Province of Papua New Guinea. Its capital is Kabwum. The population of the district was 43,472 at the 2010 census. It is one of the mountainous places in Papua New Guinea. It is made up of four local level governments (LLGs) namely Komba, Selepet, Timbe or Deyamos and Yus. It shares its borders with the following districts of Morobe namely Finchhafen, Nawaeb and Tewai-Siassi. It also shares its border with Raicoast District of Madang Province. There are no direct road link from Lae City, the Provincial Capital to Kabwum District. So the way to get there from Lae is either by small planes or by ship and speed boat. If you choose plane then it will drop you directly at one of the local air-strips in the district. But if you choose ship or speed boats, then they will drop at Wasu where there is a highway road called Kabwum Highway linked to the mountainous part of the District. From there you can choose one of the local PMV to take you to your destiny.
HMAS Terka (FY.98) was an auxiliary minesweeper operated by the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) during World War II.

She sank while at her moorings at Madang, New Guinea on 26 March 1945 and was abandoned.

Although surrounded by Croisilles languages, Yamben is not one of them.
