By number of speakers, the '''Central''' branch is by far the largest, as [[Sinatolean]] is a member of this branch. However, by number of languages in the branch, it is the smallest; even the extinct Sinat’ branch had more at its peak. The Central languages contain two languages: [[Sinatolean]] and [[Ya’anguí]], the latter a moribund language with only a dozen native speakers remaining, that is often considered a dialect of Sinatolean. | By number of speakers, the '''Central''' branch is by far the largest, as [[Sinatolean]] is a member of this branch.

Naéllang(Nillíno: [[Help:IPA|[naˈejaŋ]]]) are a small Sinatolean language family that developed primarily on the former Spanish colony of Santa Valeria(Nillíno: ''Ngoé-kk’''), so most of the languages in this family, such as the most spoken language on the island, [[Nillíno]], have mostly Spanish-derived orthographies. However, the language of [[Narabõa]], spoken on the island of Narabõa/São Cezário, was influenced by Portuguese instead, because of Portuguese colonial influence on the island. | Naéllang(Nillíno: [[Help:IPA|[naˈejaŋ]]]) are a small Sinatolean language family that developed primarily on the former Spanish colony of Santa Valeria(Nillíno: ''Ngoé-kk’''), so most of the languages in this family, such as the most spoken language on the island, [[Nillíno]], have mostly Spanish-derived orthographies.
