The North Sarawakan languages are a group of Austronesian languages spoken in the northeastern part of the province of Sarawak, Borneo, and proposed in Blust (1991, 2010).
- North Sarawakan languages
- Kenyah
- Dayic languages (Apo Duat)
- Berawan–Lower Baram
- Bintulu
Ethnologue 16 adds Punan Tubu as an additional branch, and notes that Bintulu might be closest to Baram. The Melanau–Kajang languages were removed in Blust 2010.
The Northern Sarawak languages are well known for strange phonological histories.[1]
