Proto-Western Kho-Bwa: regionally relevant basic vocabulary elicitation list

<p>This upload contains a pdf and a word file of a 555-entry word list that was used to elicit data from eight Western Kho-Bwa varieties (Khispi, Duhumbi, Khoina, Khoitam, Jerigaon, Rahung, Rupa and Shergaon), Bangru, Brokpa and Tshangla in Western and Central&nbsp;Arunachal Pradesh between March 2012 and November 2018.&nbsp;</p> <p>The word list contains concepts that are also found in the most commonly used lists for vocabulary elicitation, but also contains regionally relevant concepts, for example, those related to flora and fauna, local livelihood practices and agricultural crops, and cultural and religious concepts. The word list is partially translated in Roman Hindi to ease elicitation with Hindi-speaking consultants, but certain concepts for which Hindi equivalents could not be found have been translated into Tshangla, the erstwhile lingua franca in some areas and a language still spoken by the older generation.</p> <p>This material is made freely available to everyone for informative or scientific purposes as long as the source (this DOI) / the collectors are properly credited.
