The '''Momuna languages''', Momina and Momuna, also known as '''Somahai''', are a [[Social:Language family|family]] of two closely related Papuan languages spoken in the highlands of Papua province, Indonesia.

==Classification==
The Somahai pronouns, singular *na, *ka, *mo, are typical of Trans–New Guinea languages. They were placed in the [[Social:Central and South New Guinea languages|Central and South New Guinea]] branch of that family by Wurm. Ross could not locate enough evidence to classify them. Usher found them to be closest to the Mek languages, in the [[Social:Central West New Guinea languages|Central West New Guinea]], which partially overlaps with Wurm's C&SNG.
