Kusunda people in Nepal are a relict population from the original coastal route to SE Asia / Melanesia and are similar to the Semang in SE asia and the Andamanese. Originally it was thought that they spoke a Sino-Tibetan language; however, we now know they speak a Indo-Pacific language similar to Papuan, melanesian, etc. I would think this fact confirms a very ancient time-depth for Indic, as well as its spread synonymous with Oppenhemier's models for out of India Migrations, especially during the holocene.
