Around 800 B.C., Nepokians and Polynesians arrived at Samoa. This proximity was underlined by the big changes, primarily phonological, which happened in the transition from Old to Middle Nepokian. They were that deep, that Nepokian sound less and less Indo-European. When the first Europeans came across Nepokians, they must have spoken Middle Nepokian. The first written Nepokian sentences in Latin letters are late Middle Nepokian.
