I'm thinking of changing the Oceanic grouping to follow Lynch, Ross and Crowley (2002) The Oceanic Languages. It doesn't differ too much from what is already here, but there are a few changes. If I do this, I'd make the changes, and add all the languages in the subgroups as well. Since this will require a significant amount of work, I thought I'd post this here for a bit before going ahead and doing it.-- Sheena V 00:12, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
Article claims Tolai has over 100k speakers. Very Unlikely. Tolai language exists only at the southern end of NIP and around the Gazelle Peninsula. The unrelated Baining is spoken west of the Keravat River.Sulka is spoken only a few kms south of Blanche Bay, while other tribes and languages vanished before 1900 in the South Baining area.

The listing under the heading Lynch, Ross, & Crowley 2002 is not intended to be the most current listing and classification of Oceanic, but a listing in the 2002 work. As such, more recent work should not be used to change that listing, but should be included in a new section "Oceanic since 2002" or some such. -- Taivo ( talk) 23:24, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
Verifying subarticles with Ross et al. 2002. Finished all but SOc. — kwami ( talk) 11:06, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
In the case of SOc, I'm afraid I may have undone some unreferenced updates from Clark (2009). — kwami ( talk) 01:51, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
