Our friends in the discipline comparative linguistics tell us that various components of indigenous languages (structure, intonations, etc.) usually change after every 500 years! Now the various communities on New Guinea and the Solomon Islands have lived for 40,000 - 10,000 years in complete isolation from each other. So you can appreciate why we are so linguistically diverse in Western Melanesia!
