The Eleman languages are a family of Trans–New Guinea languages (TNG) in the classification of Malcolm Ross. The five languages of Eleman proper are clearly related. They were identified as a family by Sidney Herbert Ray in 1907, and would later be incorporated in in the Trans–New Guinea classifications of Stephen Wurm (1975) and of Malcolm Ross (2005). Ross states that the Kaki Ae isolate links Eleman proper within TNG. The Purari isolate was tentatively added by Ross.
