The Bendi languages are a small group of Nigerian Benue–Congo languages of uncertain affiliation. Once counted among the Cross River languages, they may actually be a branch of Southern Bantoid.
The languages are:
- Alege, Banliku, Bekwarra, Bete-Bendi, Boki, Bumaji, Putukwam, Ubang, Ukpe-Bayobiri.
The data are too poor to allow internal classification of these languages.
