Pecheneg language (Turkish Dialect: Peçenek dili) is the extinct Turkic language spoken by the Pechenegs in Eastern Europe.

It is most likely a member of the Oghuz branch of the Turkic family, but the poor documentation to it and the absence of any descendant languages of Pecheneg has prevented linguists from making a definite classification; most experts would be fairly confident in placing it among the Oghuz languages, but would refuse to classify it further.
