The '''East Barito languages''' are a group of a dozen [[Dayak languages|Dayak]] ([[Austronesian languages|Austronesian]]) languages of [[Borneo]], [[Indonesia]], and most notably [[Malagasy language|Malagasy]], the national language of [[Madagascar]]. They are named after the [[Barito River]] located in [[Central Kalimantan|Central]] and [[South Kalimantan]], [[Indonesia]].

The languages are,

*Central–South
**[[Dusun Deyah language|Dusun Deyah]]
**South: [[Dusun Malang language|Dusun Malang]], [[Dusun Witu language|Dusun Witu]], [[Ma'anyan language|Ma'anyan]], [[Paku language (Indonesia)|Paku]]
*[[Malagasy language|Malagasy]] (incl. [[Bushi language|Bushi]] on [[Mayotte]])
*[[Northeast Barito languages|North]]: [[Lawangan language|Lawangan]], [[Tawoyan language|Tawoyan]]

Several of the languages are named 'Dusun' because they are spoken by the [[Dusun people|Dusun]] people; they are not to be confused with the [[Dusunic languages]], which are also spoken by the Dusun but belong to a different branch of [[Malayo-Polynesian]].

The most described East Barito language is Malagasy, which is also the best known language of the [[Barito languages|Barito group]].{{sfnp|Smith|2018|page=15}} South East Borneo is considered to be the original homeland of Malagasy.{{sfnp|Adelaar|2006a|page=205}}{{sfnp|Adelaar|2017|page=441–442}} Malagasy is thought to have been brought to the East Africa region by Austronesian-speaking migrants between the 7th and 13th centuries.{{sfnp|Adelaar|1995|page=328}}{{sfnp|Adelaar|2006b|page=84}} Some linguistic evidence suggests that a distinct Malagasy language variety had already emerged in Borneo before the early Malagasy migrants reached Madagascar.{{sfnp|Adelaar|2016|page=71–76}}{{sfnp|Adelaar|2017}}
