The Kayanic or Kayan–Murik languages are a group of Austronesian languages spoken in Borneo by the Kayan, Morek Baram, Bahau, and related peoples.

Languages[]

The Kayanic languages are:

  • Kayan proper: Bahau, various languages called Kayan
  • Modang: Modang, Segai (Punan Kelai)
  • Müller-Schwaner "Punan": Hovongan, Aoheng, (Punan) Aput, Punan Merah, Kereho-Uheng
  • Murik

Robert Blust (1991) specifically excluded Kayan from his North Bornean languages. He removed Bukat from Kayan in 2010.

Müller-Schwaner Punan languages are classified by Smith (2017)[1] as Central Sarawak.

Smith (2017, 2019)[]

Smith (2017, 2019) classifies the Kayanic languages as follows:[1][2]

  • Kayan–Murik
    • Kayan (Baram, Rejang-Busang, Bahau, Data Dian)
    • Murik-Merap (Ngorek, Pua’, Huang Bau, Merap)
  • Segai–Modang
