Kwerisa, or Taogwe, is a nearly extinct Lakes Plain language of Irian Jaya, Indonesia. Most of the Kwerisa people have shifted to Kaiy, which is closely related.
They mostly inhabit Kai I village, the original location of the village. While most Torweja (Toarikei) people moved to the new village of Kai II (or Bakaije) located on the banks of Oi River and the new Rufaer district capital location (the new Kai village location) upstream from Akru River.
