The Mumuye–Yendang languages are a proposed group of Savanna languages spoken in eastern Nigeria. They were labeled "G5" in Joseph Greenberg's Adamawa language-family proposal.

• Mumuye languages
• Yendang languages

Their unity is not accepted by Güldemann (2018).

Only Mumuye and Yendang proper have more than about 5,000 speakers. Mumuye is the most widely spoken Adamawa language.
