Austronesian languages: A Family Across Oceans
Austronesian languages are most likely the world's most geographically spread out language family, spanning the Indian and Pacific oceans. Some subfamilies of this group are the Bunun, West Formosan, Malayo-Polynesian, Phillipine, Micronesian and many others. This language family is regarded as having begun on Taiwan, spread to the Phillipines, and went to Indonesia, Malaysia, Madagascar, and the rest of the Pacific Ocean. The language family has some features in common like its verb and object relation system, reduplication, small phonemic inventories, shared vocabulary, and many of the families share syntax.
