The seven Santa Isabel languages are a group of Northwest Solomonic languages.
The unity of the Santa Isabel languages is fully supported by a 2008 analysis of the Austronesian Basic Vocabulary Database[1] The internal structure differs; however, according to Ethnologue, the languages in question (the Central and Eastern Santa Isabel languages) are close enough that they can use the same literature.
There are two other languages in Ethnologue not included in the 2008 analysis: Blablanga, classified as Central with Kokota and Zazao, and Gao, classified as Eastern with Cheke Holo.
