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) as Central Sarawak.

Smith (2017, 2019)

Smith (2017, 2019) classifies the Kayanic languages as follows:

• Kayanic
  • Kayan–Murik
    • Kayan (Baram, Rejang-Busang, Bahau, Data Dian)
    • Murik–Merap (Ngorek, Pua’, Huang Bau, Merap)
  • Segai–Modang
    • Segai (Gaai, (Punan) Kelai)
    • Modang (Kelinjau Modang, Wahau Modang, Long Gelat)

Smith (2018) is a lexical database of Wahau, Gaai, Kelai, Woq Helaq (Jiu Luai), Méi lan, Woq Helaq (Hibau), Long Gelat, Ngorek, Mpraa, Baram Kayan, Apo Kayan, Balui Liko Kayan, Busang, and Bahau Saq.
