Kenyah languages

New Guinea and Pacific Language Families

The Kenyah languages are a group of roughly half a dozen closely related languages spoken by the Kenyah peoples of Borneo, comprising Kenyah proper, a dialect cluster that includes Madang, along with Sebob, Tutoh (also called Long Wat), Wahau Kenyah and Uma' Lung (also called Uma' Lasan). Sources differ on the placement of the related Punan-Nibong languages: Ethnologue counts them as related to Uma' Lasan within the family, while Glottolog places them outside the Kenyah languages.
