The Tamiloid languages, also known as the Tamil languages, are the group of Dravidian languages most closely related to Tamil. In addition to Tamil itself, they are Eravallan, Kaikadi, Mala Malasar, Malasar, Malapandaram, Mannan, Muthuvan, Paliyan, Pattapu, Bugandi and Yerukala.

Arwi is not a separate language but a register of Tamil used by Muslims. It is written in the Arabic alphabet and contains many loans from Arabic.

Kakkala may be either a Tamil language or one of the Malayalam languages.
