TheBrahman languages,Biyom andTauya, form a subbranch of theRai Coast branch of theMadang languages of Papua New Guinea. The family is named after the cattle station and town ofBrahman, which lies between the territories of the two languages.
John Z'graggen (1971, 1975) classified four languages as Brahman,Biyom,Faita,Isabi,Tauya.[1]
Ross (2005) broke up Brahman, placing Faita among theSogeram languages (another sub-branch of Madang) and Isabi among the unrelatedGoroka languages – a position followed by Usher (2018).
