The Kayanic or Kayan–Murik languages are a group of Austronesian languages spoken in Borneo by the Kayan, Punan, and related peoples.

They 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)[2] as Central Sarawak.

Smith (2017, 2019) classifies the Kayanic languages as follows:[2][3]

Kayan-Murik
- Kayan (Baram, Rejang-Busang, Bahau, Data Dian)
- Murik-Merap (Ngorek, Pua’, Huang Bau, Merap)
Segai-Modang
- Segai (Gaai, (Punan) Kelai)
- Modang (Kelinjau Modang, Wahau Modang, Long Gelat)
