- Source: Keram languages
The Keram languages of New Guinea are part of the Ramu family. They are the Mongol–Langam languages and a pair of languages sometimes thought to belong to the Grass family. (See Grass languages for the history of classification.)
Foley (2018) classifies most of them in the Grass branch of the Ramu family,
while Usher classifies them as coordinate with the Ramu family, leaving a reduced number of languages in the Grass branch.
They are named for the Keram River.
