The Sere languages (also called the Ndogoic or Sere–Ndogo languages) are a proposed family of Ubangian languages spoken in South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Several are endangered or extinct. The most populous Sere language is Ndogo of South Sudan, with about 30,000 speakers.

Traditionally classified as part of the Sere languages, FerogeMangayat and IndriTogoyo could be separate groups that may not belong within Sere.[1]

Per Ethnologue 26, the structure of the family is as follows:

Although the Sere–Bviri languages are clearly related to each other, it is not clear if they are related to FerogeMangayat and IndriTogoyo. The recently extinct Indri–Togoyo languages have pronouns that look Niger–Congo, and are not similar to those of the other languages.[1]
