Ongan, also called Angan,^[1] Jarawa–Onge, or ambiguously South Andamanese, is a language family which comprises two attested Andamanese languages spoken in the southern Andaman Islands.

The two known extant languages are:

• Önge or Onge (⟨ö⟩ transcribes /ə/); 96 speakers (Onge) in 1997, mostly monolingual
• Jarawa or Järawa; estimated at 200 speakers (Jarawa) in 1997, monolingual

The extinct language of the Jangil and that of the uncontacted Sentinelese may be Ongan, but there is no linguistic information for either of them.

The label 'Southern Andamanese languages' is also used for the closely related southern pair of the Great Andamanese languages.
