==Language family and origin== Mbula is a member of the [[oceanic languages|Oceanic]] group of Austronesian languages. It was originally proposed as a member of the Siassi language group which is a set of languages extending from [[Karkar Island]] in the [[Madang Province]] of Papua New Guinea, along the coast of [[Finschafen]] and across [[New Britain]]. However, more recent evidence suggests that it is a descendant of the Vitiaz Dialect Linkage. Its nearest genetic relations are the [[Idne language|Kilenge and Maleu]] languages; its nearest geographic neighbour is the Papuan Kovai language.
