The Maakpauean languages are a small group of related languages spoken in Mahavia which are unrelated to East Mirarian languages. The most widely-spoken language is the Itsivqutki language, a dialect continuum of which the standardized form is the official language in Kasiiralq. Other extant daughters include Siyatsiluq.

The family is typified by polysynthetic, nominative-accusative languages that feature nominal animacy classes.
