The Tamanic languages are a small group of languages of Indonesian Borneo:

Embaloh (incl. Kalis), Taman (Taman Dayak)

The classification of the Tamanic languages, usually represented by Embaloh alone, is unclear. Long left unclassified, the Dutch linguist K.A. Adelaar has proposed that they are especially close to Buginese and thus belong to the South Sulawesi languages.[2][3]
