Inā e ʻike ana i ka moʻaukala o nā ʻōlelo Polenekia, aia ke kinohi ma Melenikia, ʻAsia Hema Hikina, a me Taiuana. Akahi a 3000 a 1000 BCE, ua haʻalele nā poʻe ʻōlelo ʻAusutoronesia mai Taiwan i ʻAsia Hema Hikina.

Aia ma nā Moʻokūʻikena hulikoehana he mau ʻōlelo hōʻike no ke alahele a nā kānaka i haʻalele mai ʻAsia Hikina Hema. Ua manaʻo ia, ma mua o ka makahiki 1400 BCE ua hele nā "Kānaka Lapita" i ka pae moku o Bisimakak a me Melenikia ʻĀkau Komohana. Ua ulu kēlā nohona me nā ao i hala, i kona haʻalele mai Taiuana.

I he ʻekolu ai ʻole ʻehā mau kenekulia wale i hala ʻai, ma wane o 1300 a 900 BCE, ua hāliʻi ka nohona Lapita i he 6,000 mau km i ka hikina mai ka pae moku Bisimaka, a i Piki, Tonga, a me Haʻamoa, i noho mua akahi a 3,000 mau makahiki i hala aku ai.
