  AllRefer.com - New Guinea (Pacific Islands Political Geography) - Encyclopedia
Largely tropical, New Guinea has vast mountain ranges such as the Owen Stanley and the Bismarck mts.; Jaya Peak (16,503 ft/5,030 m) in Papua is the highest point.
The lower courses of the large rivers (the Fly, Sepik, Mamberamo, and Purari) are generally swampy, with a few grassy plains.
The island was sighted by the Portuguese explorer Antonio d'Abreu in 1511 and was named for its resemblance to the Guinea coast of W Africa.

i think its understandable Austronesian would have a large number of divergant languages as our ancestors sailed their own seperate directions and settled islands far away from each other and had time to develop local things, but as i read austronesian has suprisingly preserved the syntax and structure etc.
i wonder why Niger-Congo has the largest number of languages?
