They are
All equally close. Glottolog’s classification is a nesting without branch lengths, so this list cannot be ordered by how closely related its members are.
Measured between recorded points, not between speaker areas. Glottolog’s coordinate is frequently the midpoint of a dispersed population, so this is an order of magnitude rather than a survey.
Computed only among the 726 languages mapped here. A language whose family mostly lives outside Indonesia may have a nearer relative off this map.
