Macaronesian is a subbranch of South Albic. The Macaronesian languages are spoken in Macaronesia. They are, generally speaking, the most conservative Albic languages in terms of morphology, though they have substantially innovated in terms of phonology (they are tonal and have simplified consonant clusters).

Classification

The Macaronesian branch consists of three languages: Azorese (spoken in the Azores), Madeirese (spoken in Madeira), and Sea Elvish, the language of the Sea Elves of the Canaries.
