The Mek languages are a well established family of Papuan languages spoken by the Mek peoples. They form a branch of the Trans–New Guinea languages (TNG) in the classifications of Stephen Wurm (1975) and of Malcolm Ross (2005).

The Mek languages form three dialect chains (Heeschen 1998):

Eastern: Ketengban (including Okbap, Omban, Bime, Onya), Una (Goliath), Eipomek
Northern: Kosarek Yale–Nipsan, Nalca
Western: Korupun-Sela (including Dagi, Sisibna, Deibula)

Pronouns are not well attested, but include:

sg	pl
1	*na	*nun
2	*ka-n
3	*e-r

Mek, then called Goliath, was identified by M. Bromley in 1967. It was placed in TNG by Wurm (1975).
