TheTimoric languages are a group ofAustronesian languages (belonging to theCentral–Eastern subgroup) spoken on the islands ofTimor, neighboringWetar, and (depending on the classification)Southwest Maluku to the east.

Within the group, the languages with the most speakers areUab Meto ofWest Timor,Indonesia andTetum ofEast Timor, each with about half a million speakers, though in addition Tetum is an official language and a lingua franca among non-Tetum East Timorese.

Geoffrey Hull (1998) proposes a Timoric group as follows:

Van Engelenhoven (2009) accepts Hull's classification, but further includesMakuva and the Luangic–Kisaric languages (Kisar,Romang,Luang,Wetan,Leti) in the Eastern branch of Timoric A.^[1]

In alexicostatistical classification of the languages of Southwest Maluku, Taber (1993:396) posits a "Southwest Maluku" branch of the Timoric languages, that comprises all languages of the area, except forWest Damar and theBabar languages.

Edwards (2021) divides the languages of Timor and Southwest Maluku into two main branches,Central Timor andTimor–Babar:^[3]
