A repository hosting (a work-in-progress for) the digitised and curated dataset of the Holle List vocabularies of languages off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia (Stokhof and Almanar 1987; Stokhof 1980). The goal is to allow computational matching between the vocabularies of these languages with the main, digitised Holle List (Rajeg 2023). The matching will provide the English, Dutch, and Indonesian translations for these vocabularies that are carried over from the main Holle List.

Files in the
plaintextsdirectory that are done are:-
lekon.txt (✅)
-
simalur.txt (✅)
-
tapah.txt (✅)
-
mentawai1933.txt (✅)

These files will be supplemented by the additional data from different languages (see the note below).

The digitisation process for the lists of Mentawai (not the “1933” one), Nias (1905 and 1911), Salang and Sigule, Sigulei and Salang, and Seumalur was conducted by my students at the English Lexicology and Lexicography course in the Bachelor of English Literature, Faculty of Humanities, Udayana University. This is part of a class project to introduce WeSay app to the students.
- UPDATE: The .sfm plain-text files from the WeSay projects are to be further processed (particularly matching the main word list with the notes)
