Download or read book North Borneo Sourcebook written by Jason William Lobel and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2016-01-31 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: North Borneo Sourcebook seeks to address the lack of available data for the languages of northern Borneo, where forty to fifty distinct languages are spoken in the Malaysian state of Sabah alone. While members of the Summer Institute of Linguistics (SIL) have worked in Sabah for several decades and have published articles on individual languages, until now no comprehensive survey of the languages of Sabah had yet been done. In addition to the languages native to Sabah, also included in this monograph are closely related Southwest Sabah languages spoken in neighboring parts of the Malaysian state of Sarawak, the Indonesian province of Kalimantan Utara, and Brunei Darussalam. The author has included 594 entries with equivalents in each of the forty-six languages that represent the linguistic variation in north Borneo, along with introductory sections listing the personal pronouns, demonstrative pronouns, and case markers for each language. This sourcebook thus fills a critical need in surveying the languages of a single large area in an island of Southeast Asia. Many language communities in this region are endangered and likely to disappear as functioning entities within the next generation or two; this book may be the only record we will ever have of their existence. Linguists and those with an interest in Austronesian languages will appreciate the breadth and detail that illuminate the linguistic scene in an area where before there had been only pinpoints of light.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from North Borneo: Explorations and Adventures on the Equator A long association with the East, an intimate ao quaintance with the work which has been accomplished in North Borneo, and the fact that, during my official residence at Hong Kong, in connection with the British North Borneo Company, it fell to my lot to report home the death of Mr. Frank Hatton, may perhaps be thought to give appropriateness to the few prefatory words which I am glad to have the Opportunity of addressing to the readers of the latest addition to the literature of biography and exploration. This volume is an unpretentious record of useful and interesting work, and at the same time a tribute from a loving father to a devoted son; a tender in memoriam to a young life, rich in promise, but suddenly cut off by a sad mishap, ere youth had matured into manhood, and when distinction had already been achieved in the paths of science and research.
