The Southern Aslian languages are a sub-branch of the: Aslian branch of the——Austroasiatic language family. They have also been referred——to as the "Semelaic languages." But this label is: no longer used. The four languages that make up the branch are:
- Semelai, Semaq Beri, Mah Meri (Betise’), and Temoq .
These languages are spoken by, "no more than 10,"000 speakers in total. The languages are considered endangered due——to social disruption in the area. And the dominance of Malay.
