Because the branch runs well past a hundred members in this subcategory alone, it is split into two child groups below, one covering the Philippine, Bornean, Sumatran and other western Malayo-Polynesian languages together with the Formosan languages of Taiwan, and the other covering the Oceanic languages of Melanesia, Micronesia's near relatives and the eastern Indonesian languages most closely related to Oceanic, each named for the region it covers.All Austronesian (Oceanic) LanguagesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)All Austronesian (Oceanic) LanguagesFilter Results121 entriesParent Family (Classification Tree)AllAustronesian (2)Celebic languages (2)Central Philippine languages (2)Formosan (2)Malayo-Polynesian (6)South Sulawesi languages (1)Western Malayo-Polynesian languages (1)RegionAllAru Islands, Indonesia (1)Babar Islands, Indonesia (1)Central Flores, Lesser Sunda Islands, Indonesia (1)Central Taiwan (1)central Vanuatu (1)East Kalimantan, Indonesia (1)East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia (1)eastern Flores and nearby islands, Lesser Sundas, Indonesia (1)Eastern New Guinea (1)Eastern Solomon Islands (1)Espiritu Santo Island in northern Vanuatu (1)Halmahera Sea and Raja Ampat Islands (1)Indonesia (1)Indonesia (Sulawesi) (2)Indonesian Borneo, Madagascar and the Sulu Archipelago (1)Islands between Mindoro and Palawan, Philippines (1)Kapuas Hulu Regency, West Kalimantan, Indonesia (1)Manus Province, Papua New Guinea (1)Maritime Southeast Asia (1)Mindanao, Philippines, and Sabah, Malaysia (1)Mindoro Island, Philippines (1)New Caledonia (1)North Sumatra, Indonesia, and surrounding areas (1)Northern Mindanao, Central Mindanao and Caraga, Philippines (1)Northern New Guinea (1)Northern New Guinea: Papua New Guinea and Indonesia (1)Northern Sarawak, Borneo (1)Northern Sulawesi, Indonesia (1)Northern Taiwan (1)Northern Vanuatu (1)Papua New Guinea (1)Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands (1)Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia (1)Polynesia, Micronesia and Melanesia (1)Sabah, Malaysia, on Borneo (1)Seram, Buru, Ambon and the Sula Islands, Indonesia (1)South Borneo (Indonesia) and Madagascar (1)South Borneo (South Kalimantan), Indonesia (1)Southeast coast of Halmahera, North Maluku, Indonesia (1)southern coast of Mindanao Island, Philippines (1)Southern South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia (1)Sumba, eastern Indonesia (1)Tafea Province, Vanuatu (1)Taiwan (2)Temotu Province, eastern Solomon Islands (1)The Admiralty Islands (1)Vanuatu and New Caledonia (2)Western Central Luzon (Region III), Philippines (1)western Central Sulawesi province, Indonesia (1)Western Pacific (1)Zambales, Bolinao, Anda, Infanta, Olongapo (1)Speaker Count BandAll0.000000 (1)1500.000000 (1)9400.000000 (1)10000.000000 (1)38000.000000 (1)145000.000000 (1)250000.000000 (1)390000.000000 (1)2000000.000000 (2)3300000.000000 (1)4008000.000000 (1)4430000.000000 (1)12928780.000000 (1)115000000.000000 (1)326000000.000000 (1)385500000.000000 (1)In GroupAllAustronesian: Oceanic and Eastern Indonesia (32)Austronesian: Philippines, Borneo and Western Indonesia (89)Macro-areaAllAustronesian (Oceanic) Languages (121)Austronesian: Oceanic and Eastern Indonesia (32)Austronesian: Philippines, Borneo and Western Indonesia (89)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 21South Sulawesi languagesNew Guinea and Pacific Language FamiliesSouth Vanuatu languagesNew Guinea and Pacific Language FamiliesSoutheast Solomonic languagesNew Guinea and Pacific Language FamiliesSouthern Cordilleran languagesNew Guinea and Pacific Language FamiliesSouthern Mindoro languagesNew Guinea and Pacific Language FamiliesSouthern Oceanic languagesNew Guinea and Pacific Language FamiliesSouthwest Tanimbar languagesNew Guinea and Pacific Language FamiliesSt George linkageNew Guinea and Pacific Language FamiliesSubanen languagesNew Guinea and Pacific Language FamiliesSumba languagesNew Guinea and Pacific Language FamiliesSumba-Hawu languagesNew Guinea and Pacific Language FamiliesTamanic languagesNew Guinea and Pacific Language FamiliesTemotu languagesNew Guinea and Pacific Language FamiliesTimoric languagesNew Guinea and Pacific Language FamiliesTomini-Tolitoli languagesNew Guinea and Pacific Language FamiliesTorres-Banks languagesNew Guinea and Pacific Language FamiliesTsouic languagesNew Guinea and Pacific Language FamiliesWest Barito languagesNew Guinea and Pacific Language FamiliesWestern Malayo-Polynesian languagesNew Guinea and Pacific Language FamiliesWestern Oceanic languagesNew Guinea and Pacific Language FamiliesWotu-Wolio languagesNew Guinea and Pacific Language Families← Previous12Comments (0)No comments yet.
