Nicobarese 100 item wordlist for phylogenetic analyses
<p>The data set is based on a modified Swadesh 100 list, intended to provide indications of the internal branching of the Nicobarese languages. To date little work has been done on the classification of the small Nicobarese group, which appears to consisted of approximately seven distinct languages spoken across an island chain. Only two of the languages are have extensive dictionaries and grammatical descriptions, while the others are only partially documented, and the materials can be highly problematic to work with. The excel includes the author's nexus file used for input to phylogentic software, such as SplitsTree.<br> The data supports the author's paper for the 9th ICAAL meeting, Novemer 2021, Lund, Sweden and subsequent published versions.</p>
Wordlist files of lexical data from Papua New Guinea and western Solomons Oceanic languages collated for Ross's 1986 PhD thesis and 1988 publication thereof
<p>It occurs to me that the files containing Western Oceanic lexical data that I collected in the late 70s/early 80s for my PhD (Ross 1988) might be useful to someone. They are also used in the volumes of <em>The lexicon of Proto Oceanic </em>(Ross, Pawley & Osmond 1998, 2003, 2011, 2016, 2023). In any case, it is right that they be made publicly available, something that wasn't so easy back then. Most of the material is from wordlists that I collected during fieldwork in Papua New Guinea from around 1978 to 1982. The file cor06 is omitted because it contains SE Solomonic data (outside Western Oceanic) drawn from Tryon & Hackman 1983.</p> <p>I keyed the data into text files in a format such that each line was the entry for a single word, and each field within an entry was marked by a backslash code (I adapted this format from SIL's conventions at the time), then arranged them in cognate sets, each set separated from the next by an empty line. This work was done between 1983 and 1985, when text files were the best way to store data. They were entered on a terminal connected to a mainframe computer at the ANU. I have converted the ASCII symbols used in the original files into UTF-8 here in the interests of readability. The conversion was largely automatic, and I have not done a full check of each file, so there may be glitches.</p> <p>Each file contains languages from a region, as listed below (and the regions sometimes cut across subgroups determined by the comparative method). Three-letter abbreviations are used for language names, and two key files are also provided, one (COR-abbrevs) ordered by regions (determined by the numerals that start each line), the other by alphabetical order of language name (COR-abbrevs-alph). Some three-letter codes are followed by a hyphen and an extra letter. These are dialects. For example, MUM stands for Mumeng and MUM-P for the Patep dialect of Mumeng.</p> <p>Data files are labelled with COR (for 'correspondence sets') plus a numeral. The numerals are: 1-3 New Ireland; 4 Willaumez Peninsula (New Britain) area; 5 NW Solomonic; 7+8 Papuan Tip; 9 Vitiaz Strait area and NG north coast; 10 Huon Gulf and Markham Valley; 11 South and west New Britain. 7+8 are partial only. When I keyed the files, I had to rely on a mainframe's nightly back-up onto tape spools. One night the system failed, and so did the restore, and I lost some data.</p> <p>The backslash codes in the data files are: \l language; \p protolanguage; \w word; \g gloss; \n note; \s source. The formatting of these files is a little odd, since they served as input to routines I wrote to pull out sound correspondences. Anything after '%' is the elicited form: what immediately precedes '%' has had something 'undone', e.g. metathesis.</p> <p>The orthography of the files is phonemic and largely obvious. The conventions are set out in the introductions to the volumes of <em>The lexicon of Proto Oceanic.</em></p> <p>Finally, the files also contain reconstructions at various interstages at the top of a cognate set. These were inserted for heuristic reasons during my research. Many of them did not survive into my PhD thesis, and they should preferably be ignored. The reader who is interested in current Oceanic reconstructions should turn to the volumes of <em>The lexicon of Proto Oceanic.</em></p>

Qugu Qiang texts and wordlists for NLP
<p>This is a collection of Qugu Qiang (Glottolog nort2722, ISO cng) vocabulary and texts for use in NLP. These materials are presented in the Qiang orthography: Rrmea Lehhrr. </p> <p>The wordlist forms are from Zhou's 2010 dictionary of Qugu. Including example sentences, the dictionary contains approximately 26,000 entries. Of these entries, there were approximately 360 forms that were deemed to have typographical errors. These have been removed in the document titled 'Zhou_2010_cleaned.csv'. The full forms exactly as they were printed in Zhou 2010 are given in the file 'Zhou_2010_original.csv'. The text 'Zhou_2010_text' is a short introduction to the dictionary project written in Rrmea Lehhrr.</p> <p>This collection also includes a set of traditional texts in Rrmea Lehhrr. The texts 'Huang_&_Zhou_2006' are from Huang & Zhou's 2006 descriptive grammar of Qugu with a set of annotated texts. These texts were converted from the international phonetic alphabet into the Qiang orthography.</p> <p>Additional texts come from the Chinese Qiang History and Culture volumes published in 2021, which contain some text in Rrmea Lehhrr. This is listed as 'Qiang_2021_text.txt' Sentences with greetings were taken from Huang, Zhou & Zhang 2014. This is a publication called '366 daily Qiang sentences'. Lastly, some sentences were taken from the Baidu Wiki page on Rrmea Lehhrr. https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E7%BE%8C%E6%96%87/830740 </p>

Kanise Khumi Wordlist Data
<p>IPA transcriptions and audio recordings of a wordlist in Kanise Khumi. The name Kanise Khumi is a name that the people who speak the language adopted in 2016. Previously, the language and the people who spoke it were referred to by names of some of the larger clans, such as Nideun, Tahaensae (Taheunso), or Uiphaw. It shares an ISO code with other self identified language communities in Paletwa Township, Chin State, Myanmar. While linguistically similar, these communities have not thought of themselves as the same group in living memory. The larger umbrella term for these groups is Eastern Khumi (ISO cek).</p> <p>The wordlist is a version of the <a href="https://www.academia.edu/29128668/EFEO_CNRS_SOAS_Word_List_for_Linguistic_Fieldwork_in_Southeast_Asia_version_3_">EFEO-CNRS-SOAS Word List for Linguistic Fieldwork in Southeast Asia</a>.</p>
