The over 200 Central-Eastern Oceanic languages form a branch of the Oceanic Language Family within the Austronesian Languages .

COMPONENTS

Traditional classifications have posited a Remote Oceanic branch within this family, but this was abandoned in Lynch ''et al.'' (2002), as no defining features could be found for such a group of languages.

Southeast Solomons

? Utupua-Vanikoro . May be two independent branches:

--- Utupua

--- Vanikoro

Southern Oceanic Linkage (languages of New Caledonia and Vanuatu , such as Paicĩ )

Central Pacific Linkage ( Polynesian and the languages of Fiji )

Micronesian
