The Kamula–Elevala languages, also called the Kamula–Elevala River languages, are a small family of Papuan languages spoken in northern Western Province, Papua New Guinea, in the region of the Elevala River. The family has three languages: Kamula, and the more closely related Aekyom (Awin) and Pa (Pare), which together make up the Awin–Pa, or Elevala, subgroup. They had about 28,700 speakers in 2000.
The link between Kamula and the Awin–Pa languages was established by Edgar Suter and Timothy Usher (2017), who reconstructed Proto-Kamula–Elevala. Within the Trans–New Guinea family, Kamula–Elevala is placed in the Awyu–Ok branch.
