The Ottilien languages are a small family of clearly related languages,

Watam–Kaian, Gamei (Mbore), and Bosman–Awar.

They are generally classified among the Ramu languages of northern Papua New Guinea.

Watam and Bosman share plural morphology with Lower Sepik (Nor–Pondo), supporting the Ramu – Lower Sepik language-family proposal.
