Doso is a language of New Guinea. It has 61% of its vocabulary in common with the nearly extinct Turumsa language, its only clear relative.[2] It is spoken near Kamula but does not appear to be related to it; not enough is known to tell if it may be related to other languages in the area.

The following basic vocabulary words are from Shaw (1986),[3] as cited in the Trans-New Guinea database:[4]
