The Wanggom are a minor tribe who live in Boven Digoel, specifically in Firiwage, Kawagit, and the surrounding districts. Its tribal area is bordered by the Korowai and Tsakwambo in the north, Wambon and Mandobo in the east, and Kombai in the west and south. The Wanggom itself is considered a sub-tribe of the Kombai, speaking a dialect of their language called Wanggom, though it is sometimes classified as a different language.
