Flores-Lembata languages

New Guinea and Pacific Language Families

The Flores-Lembata languages are a group of related Austronesian languages spoken in the Lesser Sundas, on eastern Flores and small islands immediately east of Flores, Indonesia. They are suspected of having a non-Austronesian substratum, with extreme morphological simplification in Sikka and secondarily in Alorese, though not to a greater extent than the Central Malayo-Polynesian languages in general.
