The Ram languages are a small group of three languages, Awtuw, Karawa and Pouye, spoken in Sandaun Province, Papua New Guinea, and classified within the Upper Sepik branch of the Sepik languages. The family takes its name from the shared word for "man" in its languages, and is situated directly northeast of the Yellow River languages and directly south of the Wapei languages, both themselves Sepik groups. Awtuw is the best documented of the three languages; Karawa is closely related to Pouye, and Karawa speakers have reportedly been shifting toward Pouye.
