Brahman is a proposed family of languages spoken in Madang Province, Papua New Guinea.

[edit] Family division

Brahman consists of 4 languages:

1. Biyom
2. Faita
3. Isabi
4. Tauya

[edit] Genetic relations

Wurm classified Brahman under the Madang-Adelbert Range superstock of the Trans-New Guinea phylum. Ross, while keeping the languages in the Madang family, broke up Brahman, placing Faita in Southern Adelbert but Tauya and Biyom in Rai Coast.
