The Sumba–Flores languages, approximately synonymous with Bima–Sumba, are a proposed group of Austronesian languages (geographically Central–Eastern Malayo-Polynesian languages) spoken on and around the islands of Sumbawa (eastern), Sumba, and western–central Flores in the Lesser Sundas. The main languages are Bima and Manggarai, which have half a million speakers apiece on the eastern half of Sumbawa Island and the western third of Flores, respectively, and Kambera, with a quarter million speakers on the eastern half of Sumba Island. The Hawu language of Savu Island is suspected of having a non-Austronesian substratum, but perhaps not to any greater extent than the languages of central and eastern Flores, such as Sika, or indeed of Central Malayo-Polynesian languages in general. ==Classification== Blust (2009)〔Robert Blust, 2009. "Is there a Bima-Sumba subgroup?" In ''Oceanic Linguistics''〕 finds moderate support for linking Bimanese with Sumba–Manggarai. *''Bima'' (Bimanese) *Sumba–Manggarai * *Sumba languages (see) * *Ende–Manggarai (western–central Flores) * * *Manggarai–Rembong: Komodo, Manggarai, Riung, Rembong, Rajong, Kepo', Wae Rana * * *Central Flores * * * *Palu'e * * * *Ngada–Lio * * * * *Ende–Lio: a dialect cluster of Ende, Li'o, Nage, Ke'o * * * * *Ngada: Ngad'a, Rongga, So'a (dialect cluster) 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「Sumba–Flores languages」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
