Kimki or Sukubatom (Sukubatong) is an unclassified language of West Papua, Indonesia. Ethnologue (2000) posited a connection with Biksi, but later abandoned it; Hammarström (2008) notes that there is insufficient data to connect Kimki with any other language, and it is not close to its neighbors. It is too poorly attested to be included even in such tentative classifications as Ross (2005).
