The Nuclear Malayo-Polynesian languages are a branch of the Austronesian Family that are thought to have dispersed from a possible homeland in Sulawesi .

Nuclear Malayo-Polynesian is considered to have two branches:

The '' Sunda-Sulawesi Languages '' or ''Inner Hesperonesian'' (Inner Western Malayo-Polynesian) languages, which include the languages of Sulawesi and the Greater Sunda Islands , as well as a few outliers such as Charmorro and Palauan ; and

the '' Central-Eastern Malayo-Polynesian Languages ,'' which include the languages to the east (the Lesser Sunda Islands , Halmahera , Moluccas , New Guinea , and the Pacific).
