Western Oceanic

The Western Oceanic languages is a linkage of Oceanic languages, proposed and studied by Ross (1988).
Classification
The West Oceanic linkage is made up of three sub-linkages:[2]
- North New Guinea linkage
- Meso-Melanesian linkage
- Papuan Tip linkage
The center of dispersal was evidently near the Willaumez Peninsula on the north coast of New Britain.
