{{main|Greater North Borneo languages}}
The Greater North Borneo hypothesis, which unites all languages spoken on Borneo except for the [[Barito languages]] together with the [[Malayo-Sumbawan languages|Malayo-Chamic languages]], [[Rejangese language|Rejang]] and [[Sundanese language|Sundanese]] into a single subgroup, was first proposed by Blust (2010) and further elaborated by Smith (2017, 2017a).<ref name=Blust2010>{{cite journal| last=Blust |first=Robert |title=The Greater North Borneo Hypothesis |year=2010 |journal=Oceanic Linguistics |volume=49 |issue=1 |pages=44–118 |jstor=40783586 |doi=10.1353/ol.0.0060 |s2cid=145459318 }}</ref><ref name=SmithWMP>{{cite journal| last=Smith |first=Alexander D. |title=The Western Malayo-Polynesian Problem |year=2017 |journal=Oceanic Linguistics |volume=56 |issue=2 |pages=435–490|doi=10.1353/ol.2017.0021 |s2cid=149377092 }}</ref><ref>Smith, Alexander (2017a).

Because of the inclusion of Malayo-Chamic and Sundanese, the Greater North Borneo hypothesis is incompatible with Adelaar's Malayo-Sumbawan proposal. Consequently, Blust explicitly rejects Malayo-Sumbawan as a subgroup. The Greater North Borneo subgroup is based solely on lexical evidence.
