The Moklenic or Moken–Moklen languages consist of a pair of two closely related but distinct languages, namely Moken and Moklen. Larish (1999) establishes the two languages as forming two distinct subgroups of a larger Moken–Moklen branch. Larish (2005)^[1] suggests Moklenic as an alternative name for Moken–Moklen, the latter term which was originally used by Larish (1999).
