Turumsa is a possibly extinct Papuan language of Makapa village (7°56′16″S 142°34′34″E / 7.937872°S 142.576135°E / -7.937872; 142.576135 (Makapa)) in Gogodala Rural LLG, Middle Fly District, Papua New Guinea.[1][2] It has been classified as a Bosavi language, and is 19% lexically similar with Dibiyaso, but this appears to be due to loans. It has a greater (61%) lexical similarity with Doso, its only clear relative.[3]

There were only five elderly speakers found in 2002. Today, most people in Makapa village speak Dibiyaso.[4]
