Eloyi is a poorly attested Plateau language of uncertain classification. Ethnologue classifies it as Idomoid based on a proposal by Armstrong (1955, 1983), but that identification was based on a single word list and Armstrong later expressed doubts. All other preliminary accounts classify it as Plateau, and Blench (2008) leaves it as a separate branch of Plateau.
