The Eastern Daly languages are an extinct family of Australian aboriginal languages that are fairly closely related, at 50% cognate. They were:
- Eastern Daly
- Matngele
- Kamu
These languages had elements of verbal structure that suggest they may be related to the Macro-Gunwinyguan languages. All are now extinct.[2]
