Notes from the Field: Lolak--Another Moribund Language of Indonesia, with Supporting Audio
Lobel, Jason William; Paputungan, Ade Tatak
Language Documentation & Conservation, v11 p328-366 2017
This paper consists of a short multimedia introduction to Lolak, a near-extinct Greater Central Philippine language traditionally spoken in three small communities on the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia. In addition to being one of the most underdocumented languages in the area, it is also spoken by one of the smallest native speaker populations in northern Sulawesi. Included in this overview are over 500 recordings of words and phrases pronounced by one of the oldest and most fluent speakers of the language, illustrating its phoneme system, grammatical subsets, and system of verbal affixation.
