The Goilalan or Wharton Range languages are a language family spoken around the Wharton Range in the "Bird's Tail" of New Guinea. They were classified as a branch of the Trans–New Guinea languages by Stephen Wurm (1975), but only tentatively retained there in the classification of Malcolm Ross (2005) and removed entirely by Timothy Usher (2020).^[2]

The languages are,^[2]

• Fuyug
• Tauade
• Northern (Kunimaipa): Biangai, Kunimaipa, Weri

The languages are clearly related, especially northern Biagai, Kunimaipa, and Weri, which might be considered divergent dialects.^{[citation needed]}

Pronouns are:

• Northern: 1sg ne, 2sg ni, 3sg pi
• Tauade/Fuyug: 1sg na, 2sg nu

Tauade also has the possessive pronouns ne-ve, ni-e.

The following basic vocabulary words are from SIL field notes (1973, 1975, 1980), as cited in the Trans-New Guinea database:^[3]

Fuyuge reflexes of purported proto-Trans-New Guinea (pTNG) etyma are:^[4]

• sabe ‘saliva’ < *si(mb,p)at
• magata ‘mouth, jaw’ < *maŋgat[a]
• mele-pila ‘tongue’ < *mele-mbilaŋ
• imu ‘eye’ < *(ŋg,k)amu
