The Eastern Trans-Fly languages are a small independent family of Papuan languages in the classification of Malcolm Ross, that constituted a branch of Stephen Wurm's 1970 Trans-Fly proposal, which he later incorporated into his 1975 expansion of the Trans–New Guinea family as part of a Trans Fly–Bulaka River branch.

dbpprop:abstract
  • The Eastern Trans-Fly languages are a small independent family of Papuan languages in the classification of Malcolm Ross, that constituted a branch of Stephen Wurm's 1970 Trans-Fly proposal, which he later incorporated into his 1975 expansion of the Trans–New Guinea family as part of a Trans Fly–Bulaka River branch. Wurm himself concluded that some of the Trans-Fly languages were not Trans–New Guinea at all but rather heavily influenced by Trans–New Guinea languages, and Ross (2005) removed the Eastern Trans-Fly and South-Central Papuan languages from Wurm's family. Eastern Trans-Fly includes Meriam, located within the national borders of Australia, as well as Bine, Wipii (Gidra) and Gizra.
