North-Central Vanuatu languages
Subgroup of the Oceanic branch of the Austronesian language family / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The North-Central Vanuatu languages are a linkage of Oceanic languages spoken in Vanuatu and New Caledonia. It was proposed by Clark (2009), who reconstructed the proto-language of the entire group, viewed here as an early, mutually-intelligible chain of dialects.[1] but this is not accepted by Lynch (2018).[2]
