The aim of the present study is to carry out a detailed comparative analysis of a small group of Austronesian languages with the intention of reconstructing as much as possible of their exclusively shared parent language. The five languages involved in the study are spoken in the Minahasa region of North Celebes, Indonesia. The reconstructed parent language is called Proto-Minahasan.
