Description

This is an old comparative word list from the second half of the 19th century (Oudemans 1879) for Enggano, Mentawai, and Nias, the three Barrier Islands languages of Sumatra, Indonesia. The Enggano list is integrated into EnoLEX (Krauße et al. 2024a; Rajeg et al. 2024; also Krauße et al. 2024b; Rajeg et al. 2025). EnoLEX is a diachronic lexical database for the Enggano language.

Before the CLDF conversion with cldfbench, the original source data set was processed with R, including the initial orthography profiling. This CLDF data set has been accepted in the Lexibank registry on Zenodo.

This work is part of the AHRC-funded research to build lexical resources for Enggano, led by the Faculty of Linguistics, Philology and Phonetics at the University of Oxford, UK.
