The Rejang–Sajau languages are a group of half a dozen closely related languages spoken by the Punan and related peoples in Borneo. The Punan live along the banks of the Rajang River, from which this group derives its name.
The languages are:
- Basap
- Bah-Biau Punan (Punan)
- Sajau (Sajau Basap, Punan Sajau)
According to Glottolog, Punan Merap is a spurious distinction.
