Sumba–Flores Languages
The Sumba–Flores languages, which correspond to the traditional "Bima–Sumba" subgroup minus Bima, are a proposed group of Austronesian languages (geographically Central–Eastern Malayo-Polynesian languages) spoken on and around the islands of Sumba and western–central Flores in the Lesser Sundas, Indonesia. The main languages are Manggarai, which has half a million speakers on the western third of Flores, 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 (2008) finds moderate support for linking the languages of western and central Flores with Sumba–Hawu. *Sumba–Flores ** Sumba–Hawu *** Hawu–Dhao *** Sumba languages (see) **Western Flores ***Manggarai–Re ...

Sumba–Hawu Languages
The Sumba–Hawu languages are a group of closely related Austronesian languages, spoken in East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The most widely spoken Sumba–Hawu language is 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 a greater extent that other languages of central and eastern Flores, such as Sika, or indeed of Central Malayo-Polynesian in general. Classification The Sumba–Hawu languages are all closely related. Blust (2008) found convincing evidence for linking Kambera (representing the Sumba languages) with Hawu. * Hawu–Dhao ** Hawu ** Dhao *Sumba languagesAsplund, Leif (2010)''The Languages of Sumba.''Paper presented at the East Nusantara Conference in Kupang. **Central–East Sumbanese ***East Sumbanese: Kambera (dialect cluster) *** Mamboru ***Central Sumbanese: Anakalangu, Wanukaka, Ponduk, Baliledu ** Wejewa– Lamboya ...
