The family of Southeast Solomonic languages forms a branch of the Oceanic languages. It consists of some 26 languages covering the South East Solomon Islands, from the tip of Santa Isabel to Makira. The fact that there is little diversity amongst these languages, compared to groups of similar size in Melanesia, suggests that they dispersed in the relatively recent past.〔Lynch, John, Malcolm Ross & Terry Crowley. 2002. ''The Oceanic languages.'' Richmond, Surrey: Curzon Press.〕 Bugotu is one of the most conservative languages. ==Languages== According to Lynch, Ross, & Crowley (2002), the structure of the family is as follows: *Bugotu–Gela–Guadalcanal family * *Bughotu (Bugotu) * *Gela–Guadalcanal family * * *Gelic: Lengo, Gela * * *Guadalcanal: Birao, Ghari, Malango, Talise *Longgu–Malaita–Makira family * *Longgu * *Malaita–Makira family * * *Sa'a * * *Makira (San Cristobal): Arosi, Fagani, Bauro, Kahua–Owa, ?Marau Wawa * * *Malaita * * * *Central–North Malaita: North (To'abaita, Baelelea, Baeggu, Fataleka), Lau, Kwara'ae, Wala, Gula'alaa, Kwaio, Dori'o * * * *Southern Malaita: 'Are'are, Marau, Oroha 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Southeast Solomonic languages」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
