The North Omotic (Nomotic) or Ta-Ne Omotic languages, are a group of languages spoken in Ethiopia. Glottolog considers Ta-Ne-Omotic to be an independent language family, whereas older classifications may link it to the Omotic branch of the Afro-Asiatic family, though this affiliation is disputed.

Dizoid is left out in later classifications, but included in earlier ones.

A relatively comprehensive comparative word list is given in Václav Blažek (2008).

The four Ta-Ne Omotic (North Omotic) subdivisions given by Güldemann (2018) are:
