Mrpeciii is confused, why you try so hard to delete "Indonesia" in many articles, don't blame me if your country is small, divided by the Natuna Sea and has no culture
Tag: Reverted
Reverted 1 edit by Mrpeciii (talk): Even more bloat. You will have also to add Thailand, Cambodia, China, and Vietnam to accommodate the Chamic and Malayic languages spoken there. Let's keep it simple and geographical.

Line 22:
The '''Greater North Borneo languages''' are a proposed subgroup of the [[Austronesian languages|Austronesian]] language family. The subgroup covers languages that are spoken throughout much of [[Borneo]] (excluding the southeastern area where the [[Barito languages|Greater Barito]] languages are spoken), 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}}
 
The proposed subgroup covers some of the major languages in [[Southeast Asia]], including [[IndonesianMalay language|IndonesianMalay]]/[[MalayIndonesian language|MalayIndonesian]] 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}}
 
Since Greater North Borneo also includes the Malayic, Chamic, and Sundanese languages, it is incompatible with Alexander Adelaar's [[Malayo-Sumbawan]] hypothesis.{{sfn|Blust|2010|p=81}}{{sfn|Adelaar|2005}}
