翁奇語系（Ongan、Angan^[2]、南安達曼語系、Jarawa–Onge）是分佈在安達曼群島南部的語系，由至少兩種語言組成。已知兩個現存語言是

翁奇語，96使用者（翁奇人，1997），主要為單語者
加洛瓦語，約200使用者（加洛瓦人，1997），單語
哨兵島語，據推測是哨兵島人的語言，有人認為屬於翁奇語系，但實際上幾乎沒有任何資料；估計有15–500使用者。
詹吉爾語於1895至1920年間滅絕，據載與加洛瓦語無法互通，但有明顯的相似之處。

外部關係

安達曼諸語言可分為2個語系：大安達曼語系與翁奇語系，以及一種幾乎沒有記載的哨兵島語。大安達曼語系和翁奇語系之間有類型學和形態上的相似，而幾乎沒有共同的詞彙。就連約瑟·哈羅德·格林伯格這樣的遠距比較研究者，也對安達曼語系的成立表示懷疑。^[3]

Juliette Blevins (2007)提出，翁奇語系與南島語系有遠緣關係，構成南島-翁奇語系。^[4]但這沒有得到其他學者的認可，無我 (2011)認為Blevins的證據「並不令人信服，儘管有些相似之處可能是接觸/借詞造成的。Hoogervorst (2012)也持類似觀點。^[5]^[6]Robert Blust (2014)認為Blevins的結論沒有數據支持：在前25個構擬中，沒有一個可用比較法構擬，Blust還認為語法比較也不成立。此外，Blust還引用了非語言學（如文化、考古與生物）證據反駁Blevins的假說。^[7]

構擬

兩種有據可查的翁奇語系語言比較接近，歷時構擬比較簡單：

原始翁奇語輔音對應^[8]^:163–164
原始翁奇語	*p	*b	*t	*d	*kʷ	*k	*ɡ	*j	*w	*c	*ɟ	*m	*n	*ɲ	*ŋ	*l	*r
加洛瓦語	p, b	b	t	d	hʷ, h	h	ɡ, j	j	w	c	ɟ	m	n	ɲ	ŋ	l	r
翁奇語	b	b	t, d	d, r	kʷ, h	k, ɡ	ɡ, Ø	j	w	c, ɟ	ɟ	m	n	ɲ	ŋ	l, j	r/j/l, Ø

原始翁奇語開音節元音對應^[8]^:163–164
原始翁奇語	*i	*u	*a	*e	*o	(*ə)
加洛瓦語	i	u	a	e, ə, o	o	(ə)
翁奇語	i	u	a	e, ə, o	o	(ə)

*ə傾向於是*e在鼻韻尾前的同位異音。

語法

翁奇語系語言是黏着語，有豐富的前後綴系統，還擁有與眾不同的名詞分類系統。^[9]^[10]名詞、形容詞會據與之相關（基於形狀或功能）的身體部位加前綴。^[11]身體部位詞彙具有不可讓渡的領屬性，需要加領屬形容詞前綴，這個身體部位詞才能成立。例如不能單說「頭」，必須說「我的頭、你的頭」云云。^[11]

翁奇語代詞：

我/我的	m-	我們/我們的	et-, ot-
你/你的	ŋ-	你們/你們的	n-
他/她/它/他的/她的/它的	g-	他們/他們的	ekw-, ek-, ok-

還有不定前綴ən-, on-「某人的」。加洛瓦語沒有複數系列，但單數非常接近： m-, ŋ-或n-, w-, ən-。由此，Blevins構擬原始翁奇語*m-、*ŋ-、*gw-、*en-。

根據現有資料，安達曼語言只有兩個基數詞：1和2。他們所有的數詞分別是（翻譯為漢語）：1、2、多一個、一些、全部。^[10]
