{{Infobox language |name=Puyuma |altname=卑南語 |states=Taiwan |region= |ethnicity=Puyuma people |speakers=8,500 |date=2002 |ref=e18 |familycolor=Austronesian |iso3=pyu |glotto=puyu1239 |glottorefname=Puyuma |lingua=30-JAA-a |map=Formosan languages 2009.png |mapcaption=(red) Puyuma }}The Puyuma language, or Pinuyumayan ({{zh|c=卑南語|p=Bēinán Yǔ}}), is the language of the Puyuma, an indigenous people of Taiwan (see Taiwanese aborigines). It is a divergent Formosan language of the Austronesian family. Most speakers are older adults. Puyuma is one of the more divergent of the Austronesian languages and falls outside reconstructions of Proto-Austronesian. DialectsThe internal classification of Puyuma dialects below is from {{harvcol|Ting|1978}}. Nanwang is usually shown to be the relatively phonologically conservative dialect but grammatically innovative, as it preserves proto-Puyuma voiced plosives but syncretize the use of both oblique and genetive case {{sfnp|Teng|2009|pp=839, 841}}. - Proto-Puyuma
