The '''Angan languages''' are a [[Social:Language family|family]] of the [[Social:Trans–New Guinea languages|Trans–New Guinea languages]] in the classification of Malcolm Ross. The Angan languages are clearly valid as a family. They were first identified as such by J. Lloyd and A. Healey in 1968; Wurm (1975) classified them as Trans–New Guinea. Glottlog treats Angan as a separate or unclassified family, pending further evidence.

The Angan languages are spoken in Eastern Highlands Province and adjoining areas of Gulf Province and Morobe Province.<ref name="Ethnologue22-PNG">{{cite web |url=https://www.ethnologue.com/country/PG/languages |title=Papua New Guinea languages |work=[[Social:Ethnologue|Ethnologue]]: Languages of the World |edition=22nd |editor1-last=Eberhard |editor1-first=David M. |editor2-last=Simons |editor2-first=Gary F. |editor3-last=Fennig |editor3-first=Charles D. |date=2019 |location=Dallas |publisher=[[Organization:SIL International|SIL International]]}}</ref>

Menya is notable for its dyadic kinship terms  (terms referring to the relationship two or more people have to each other), which are rare globally and not prevalent in Papua New Guinea (though they also exist in the Oksapmin language).<ref>[http://conferences.arts.usyd.edu.au/program.php?cf=19 The Oksapmin Kinship System] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090920071406/http://conferences.arts.usyd.edu.au/program.php?cf=19 |date=2009-09-20 }}, retrieved May 21, 2009.</ref>
