The family of Southeast Solomonic languages is a branch of the Central-Eastern Oceanic languages. It consists of some 26 languages covering the South East Solomon Islands, from the tip of Santa Isabel to Makira.
The fact that there is such little diversity amongst this language group when compared to groups of similar size in Melanesia indicates that either the languages were dispersed in the relatively near past, or that the last three millennia have been unusually stable in the Southeastern Solomons.
