The '''Greater North Borneo languages''' are a proposed subgroup of the [[Austronesian languages|Austronesian]] language family. The subgroup historically covers languages that are spoken throughout much of [[Borneo]] (excluding the southeastern area where the [[Barito languages|Greater Barito]] languages are spoken) and [[Sumatra]], as well as parts of [[Sumatra]] and [[Java]], and [[Mainland Southeast Asia]]. The Greater North Borneo hypothesis was first proposed by [[Robert Blust]] (2010) and further elaborated by Alexander Smith (2017a, 2017b).{{sfn|Blust|2010|pp=44, 47}}{{sfn|Smith|2017a|p=346–364}}{{sfn|Smith|2017b|p=459–460}} The evidence presented for this proposal are solely lexical.{{sfn|Blust|2010|p=68}} Despite its name, this branch has been now widespread within the [[MalayMaritime worldSoutheast Asia]] region.
 
The proposed subgroup covers some of the major languages in [[Southeast Asia]], including [[Malay language|Malay]]/[[Indonesian language|Indonesian]] and related [[Malayic languages]] such as [[Minangkabau language|Minangkabau]], [[Banjar language|Banjar]] and [[Iban language|Iban]]; as well as [[Sundanese language|Sundanese]] and [[Acehnese language|Acehnese]]. In Borneo itself, the largest non-Malayic GNB language in terms of the number of speakers is [[Central Dusun language|Central Dusun]], mainly spoken in [[Sabah]].{{sfn|Blust|2013|p=65}}
