Oceanic languages

Oceanic languages form a diverse group of hundreds of related languages spoken across the Pacific Islands, including Polynesia, Micronesia, and parts of Melanesia. They originated from a common ancestral language and have evolved over thousands of years through migration and contact. These languages often share similar grammar structures and vocabulary, but they also display regional differences. Oceanic languages are typically spoken by island communities and play a vital role in their cultural identities. They are important for communication, tradition, and preserving the unique histories of Pacific peoples.
