Endangered Moluccan Languages: Eastern Indonesia & the Dutch diaspora

 

This project aims to document five previously undescribed languages: Allang (Ambon Island), Haruku (Haruku Island), the language spoken in the villages of Amahei, Makariki, Ruta, and Soahuku (Seram Island), Nusalaut (Nusalaut Island), and the language spoken in the villages of Tenga-Tenga, Tial, Tulehu, Liang and Waai (Ambon Island). A cross-linguistic analysis of several grammatical aspects of Central Moluccan languages will also draw on four previously documented languages (Alune, Buru, Larike, Nuaulu).
