The Yiman language (also spelt Yeeman, Yimun, Jimun, Yiiman, Jiman, Iman, and Emon) is an Australian Aboriginal language of Queensland. Ethnically the speakers were Bidjara;{{cn|date=February 2014}} that and geography suggests that it may have been a Maric language, assuming it was a distinct language at all. It is attested in a word list collected by Meston and held in the State Library of Queensland, but as of 2014 the data had not been verified by the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies.{{Cite web |last= |date=2019-07-26 |title=E31: Yiman |url=https://collection.aiatsis.gov.au/austlang/language/e31 |access-date=2023-11-30 |website=AIATSIS Collection |language=en}}{{Cite web |last=Crump |first=Des |date=2021-01-04 |title=Language of the Week: Week Thirty-Two - Yiman |url=https://www.slq.qld.gov.au/blog/language-week-week-thirty-two-yiman |access-date=2023-11-30 |website=State Library Of Queensland |language=en}}
