A language isolate is a language that has no proven connection to any other language—meaning linguists can't trace it back to a common ancestor with other known languages. These rare languages matter because they offer unique insights into human linguistic diversity and can help us understand how languages evolve and change over time.

孤立した言語（こりつしたげんご、language isolate、isolated language）とは、現存する他の言語と比較言語学的手法による系統関係が立証されておらず、他の言語と共通する祖語を再建できない言語である。 孤立言語とも言うが、古典的な言語類型論における形態論的な分類の一つである孤立語（こりつご、isolating language）とはまったく異なる概念である。
