Dem (Lem, Ndem) is a possible Trans–New Guinea language in the classification of Malcolm Ross (2005). A small number of words connect it to other language families of the Irian Highlands, but they are not consistent correspondences, and it is not clear what they mean. The only pronouns which have been recorded are 1sg nau, 2sg aŋ, and 1pl yu.
