Digitised wordlist for Sigulei and Salang (NBG 1912) derived from Stokhof and Almanar’s “Holle lists: Vocabularies in languages of Indonesia, Vol. 10/3: Islands off the west coast of Sumatra” from 1987

Context and funding acknowledgementThe digitisation of the Holle List for the Barrier Islands Languages, Sumatra, Indonesia, has begun since 2023 as part of the AHRC-funded research to develop lexical resources for Enggano, another member of the Barrier Islands Languages. This work has now been integrated into the ARC-funded research on the Languages of the Barrier Islands, Sumatra, Indonesia. It continues the digitalisation of the Enggano Holle List.DescriptionFollowing its first release on GitHub and Zenodo, the materials in this repository are licensed under CC-BY-SA 4.0.This repository contains a database of the wordlist and linguistic expressions in Sigulei and Salang as presented in Stokhof and Almanar's (1987) "Holle lists: Vocabularies in languages of Indonesia, Vol. 10/3: Islands off the west coast of Sumatra" (cf. its Glottolog entry).Originally, the Sigulei and Salang wordlist and expressions in Stokhof & Almanar (1987) were not published together with the corresponding translations in Dutch, English, and Indonesian/Malay, but instead appeared in a separate publication (Stokhof 1980; Rajeg 2023). Their correspondences are identified via index numbers. In this repository, they are linked to a multilingual wordlist and a database of linguistic expressions as part of a student group project in the Lexicology and Lexicography course (2024) to introduce the WeSay software for building a dictionary.The manually entered words and expressions, along with their translations, were subsequently verified and corrected on Google Spreadsheet. The R processing code for this language is available from the main GitHub repository of the Barrier Islands Languages Holle List (Rajeg & Arka 2024).The combined wordlist and linguistic expressions, together with their translations are searchable on GitHub.
