Central–Eastern Oceanic languages
The over 200 Central–Eastern Oceanic languages form a branch of the Oceanic language family within the Austronesian languages.Languages
Traditional classifications have posited a Remote Oceanic branch within this family, but this was abandoned in Lynch et al., as no defining features could be found for such a group of languages.
In 2007 Ross & Næss moved the Utupua-Vanikoro languages from Central-Eastern to the newly established Temotu branch of Oceanic.
