Indo-Pacific languages
The Indo-Pacific language family proposed by Joseph Greenberg in 1971 consists of the non-Austronesian languages of New Guinea and neighboring islands, the languages of Tasmania, and the languages of the Andaman Islands. The proposal was based on unsystematic observation of lexical similarities rather than the comparative method and has therefore not been widely accepted by linguists.
