Quick Summary

The Temiar language is part of the Senoic languages, a subbranch of the Aslian branch of the Mon-Khmer language family, which is itself part of the Austroasiatic stock. The Senoic languages are spoken in the Main Range of the Malay Peninsula. Together with Semai, Temiar is one of the main languages within this group, with a combined speaker population of approximately 33,000. The classification of Senoic languages as a distinct family, the Malacca family, is no longer considered valid.1
