Simbari or Chimbari, is an Angan language of Papua New Guinea.

There are at least two dialects of Simbari. The Simbari language is partly cognate with Baruya.[2]

Simbari is spoken by the Simbari people. Simbari culture and society have received extensive anthropological studies, especially by Gilbert Herdt.[3][4]
