The '''Southeast Papuan''' or '''"Bird's Tail"''' languages are a geographic grouping of half a dozen small [[language family|families]] of [[Papuan languages]] in the "[[Bird's Tail]]" (southeastern peninsula) of New Guinea: [[Koiarian languages|Koiarian]], [[Kwalean languages|Kwalean]], [[Manubaran languages|Manubaran]], [[Yareban languages|Yareban]], [[Mailuan languages|Mailuan]], and [[Dagan languages|Dagan]]. They are all believed to be part of the [[Trans–New Guinea languages|Trans–New Guinea]] (TNG) phylum, but have not been shown to be any more closely related to each other than they are to other TNG families. However, they do all have in common ''ya'' for 'you' (plural) instead of proto-TNG ''*gi.''

==Languages==
The [[Goilalan languages]] are customarily included in Southeast Papuan, but it is questionable whether they are even Trans&ndash;New Guinea.
