Aruek is a Torricelli language of Papua New Guinea. There is little data to classify it, and it is therefore left unclassified within Torricelli by Ross (2005).[2] Dryer (2024),[3] as cited in Drinfield (2024),[4] classifies it as a Kombioic language.
There are no longer any speakers in the one village where it was spoken and people of that village say the language is now extinct.
