Languages
editThe 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.
