This dataset contains elicited basic vocabulary from the Wauyai dialect of Maˈya with Pilipus Gimla (born 1955), a native speaker of Wauyai Maˈya.

The recording of this session is split across two audio files, WAU005-01 and WAU005-02. The session was recorded on 17 February 2023, in Waimalata hamlet (Waigeo island, Raja Ampat regency, Southwest Papua province, Indonesia). This dataset relates to the British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship 'Synchronic and diachronic investigations in Raja Ampat-South Halmahera, a little-known subbranch of Austronesian'.
