Austronesian speakers move out of Taiwan

1. Story
2. The dispersal that would ultimately span from Madagascar to Rapa Nui begins with movement from Taiwan into the northern Philippines, conventionally placed around the third millennium BCE on the archaeological evidence of Neolithic settlement, pottery and domesticates. Everything spoken beyond Taiwan today descends from this single departure: the Malayo-Polynesian branch. The catalogue timeline for this Journey gives the same approximate date.

36. Evidence
37. Supports the finding that nearly all primary branches of Austronesian are Formosan and that all extra-Formosan languages form a single branch, Malayo-Polynesian. V55 verification basis: this session had no access to any source — WebFetch was egress-blocked for every host attempted and the WebSearch budget was exhausted before authoring — so the cited work was not retrieved, and no page, volume or figure quoted from it was re-checked. Cited without pagination, and the specific number of primary branches Blust proposes is deliberately not quoted in this pack because it could not be checked.
38. Supports the agreement between the branching order of Austronesian language trees and the archaeological settlement sequence of the Pacific. V55 verification basis: this session had no access to any source — WebFetch was egress-blocked for every host attempted and the WebSearch budget was exhausted before authoring — so the cited work was not retrieved, and no page, volume or figure quoted from it was re-checked. The volume number is given from standing knowledge and the page range is omitted rather than guessed.
