Language Death in Indonesia
The number of languages in Indonesia exceeds seven hundred, but more than 70% of these languages are spoken in eastern Indonesia, where many speakers of heritage languages are shifting their allegiance to local dialects of Malay or to Indonesian. This essay focuses on the languages of Buru and Seram and the nearby islands of Maluku Province. Because parts of this region formed the earliest Dutch colony in Indonesia, historical documentation allow…
Culture is a shadow”, language as a shade; Fragments of a dead language, Naka’ela
One of the distinctive languages of Central Maluku, Naka’ela, was once spoken by a remnant language community on the north coast of Seram. Relying on data collected in Seram in 1978, Naka’ela has been among the Central Maluku languages included in studies of morphophonology (Collins 1983a, 1983b), areal phonology shift (1982, 2018a), and language classification (Collins 1983a). A fallacious, mechanistic classification of Naka’ela (Mahsun et al. 2…
A Book and a Chapter in the History of Malay
James T. Collins Cet article analyse le vocabulaire de la traduction malaise de la Genèse effectuée à Ambon par le Révérend Daniel Brouwerius en 1662 (3ème édition, 1697), dans le but d'y repérer des caractéristiques du malais utilisé à Ambon il y a quelque 350 ans. Après une présentation de la traduction et du traducteur dans leur contexte social et linguistique, James Collins envisage deux aspects du vocabulaire de ce texte. Tout d'abord les mo…
Language use and language chance in Manjau, Kalimantan Barat; Exploring the Tola' Dayak language and society
Exploring the Tola' Dayak language and societyAlmost a decade of conducting research in Kalimantan Barat has demonstrated to us that, while in that province there may be government fiscal shortfalls, inadequate food supplies and distribution systems, too few roads and too little electricity, and, of course, a continuing diminishment of the tropical forest, there is no shortage of proper names: names for persons, names for streets, but especially …
Language death in Maluku; The impact of the VOC
Any aborigines were simply pests to be removed ... The Tasmanians were shot where they were found, or rounded up into prison camps, where the survivors languished in miserable conditions. The last of them, a woman called Trucanini, who had been raped by the white convicts and then used by the authorities as a pawn to bring her people in, died in 1876. A unique branch on the tree of the world's languages was thus destroyed along with its people
Contesting Straits-Malayness
Through a discussion of language use in Kalimantan Barat (Western Borneo) a better understanding of cultural and sociolinguistic phenomena that are relevant to any discussion of Malay identity can be achieved. In this complex setting, the colonial nomenclature of Malay and Dayak, though widely adopted by the people of Kalimantan, does not adequately represent the intricacy and the fluidity of social relationships and identities. Colonial knowledg…

The identification of an 'unidentified' Holle list; The last word (list)
In 1979, under the aegis of the Cultural Agreement between Indonesia and the Netherlands, W.A.L. Stokhof undertook the task of publishing the surviving wordlists which had been collected within the methodological framework set forth by K.F. Holle in 1880 (Stokhof 1980:1). This pains taking and admirable project was concluded in 1987 with the publication of Volume 11 of the Holle List series (Stokhof 1987). This final volume includes lists found i…
Notes on the Language of Taliabo
INTRODUCTION. Despite a few recent publications (Chlenov 1976; Stokhof 1980b; Blust 1981; Collins 1981, 1982)1 the languages of the Sulabesi islands are not well known. Although some attempts have been made at determining their relationships to other languages, little is known about their internal relationships.2 In this brief paper, some information is presented about the language spoken on Taliabo, the largest and westernmost island in this isl…
Malay dialect research in Malysia
When European travellers and adventurers began to explore the coasts and islands of Southeast Asia almost five hundred years ago, they found Malay spoken in many of the ports and entrep?ts of the region. Indeed, today Malay remains an important indigenous language in Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, Thailand and Singapore.2 It should not be a surprise, then, that such a widespread and ancient language is characterized by a wealth of diverse

A note on cultural vocabulary in the Moluccan Islands
In recent years M. A. Chlenov has played a unique and important role in Austronesian linguistics. In his writings (1973,1976) he has made available some of the results and data of his extensive field work in East Indonesia. His stimulating article (1980) represents still an other contribution reflecting a familiarity with a number of diverse languages as well as a deep humanistic concern with extracting relevant conclusions from such a diversity.…
