    Ultimate Indonesian Yachts 7-DAY / 6-NIGHT ITINERARY: MAUMERE TO ALOR Embark on a 7-day sailing sojourn in the mysterious Alor archipelago. This journey begins in Maumere and ends in Alor. ALOR ARCHIPELAGO The Alor archipelago is a series of rugged, volcanic islands stretching east of Bali, Sumbawa and Flores. It is perhaps most notable for its cultural diversity – the small archipelago is home to no less than 100 communities speaking 8 languages and 52 dialects. Dutch settlers fixed local rajas in the coastal areas after 1908, but were unable to penetrate the interior with its notorious fierce headhunters up until as late as the 1950s. This little-visited area remains known for its enduring indigenous animist traditions and the highland villages with their Moko drums. The many small villages in the vicinity are home to a welcoming and curious people, and visitors may also come across local spear fishermen sporting wooden framed goggles, setting traditional woven fish traps on the reefs. Among the islands surrounding Alor, deep channels make up part of the migratory route for many types of whales and the underwater landscape features breathtaking walls and coral gardens occupied by large schools of fish. These waters are notorious for powerful currents, particularly in the narrow straits between Pantar, Alor and Lembata, attracting predators from the deep. Off the Alor coast, Komba Island is home to the very active Batu Tara volcano, which billows smoke every half hour. www.ultimate-indonesian-yachts.com Ultimate Indonesian Yachts SAMPLE ITINERARY DAY 1: MAUMERE Upon arrival at the airport, you will be collected by your crew and transferred to your private yacht.

  • Current Status of Language Documentation in the Alor-Pantar Archipelago
    Current Status of Language Documentation in the Alor-Pantar Archipelago František KRATOCHVÍL Nanyang Technological University, Singapore The last decade saw a surge in linguistic research in the Alor-Pantar Archipelago, a hitherto little explored area. We will first briefly sketch the research that preceded it. In the fist half of the 20th century, the most notable research was carried out by Cora Du Bois, an American anthropologist who studies extensively the Abui community of Central Alor. Du Bois was accompanied by Martha M. Nicolspeyer, a Dutch sociologist, who focused on the social structure of the Abui. Both researchers concluded that culture and society of the Alorese were distinct from the neighboring island (Nicolspeyer 1940, Du Bois 1944). In addition to the Holle lists, collected by the Dutch colonial administration, and published by W. A. L. Stokhof in 1975, it was established already before WWII that the languages and cultures found in the Alor-Pantar Archipelago are Papuan (non-Austronesian). With exception of the comprehensive memorie van overgave reports by Van Galen in 1946 (Hägerdal 2010, 2011) and a few travel reports (Anonymous 1914; Vatter 1932), virtually no other work was was done until 1970's when the Dutch linguists Willem A. L. Stokhof and Hein Steinhauer arrived in the Archipelago. While Steinhauer focussed on Blagar, spoken in Pura and Pantar, Stokhof worked on Woisika (nowadays known as Kamang), Abui, and Kabola (Steinhauer 1991, 1995; Stokhof 1975, 1977, 1979, 1982, 1984). In the late 1990's, Mark Donohue has studies the languages of East Alor, most notably Kula (referred to as Tanglapui) (Donohue 1997, 2008).

  • Morphological Variation in Pteropus Lombocensis (Chiroptera: Pteropodidae) in Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia

Packer1 and MaharadatunkamsF I Western Australian Museum, Francis Street, Perth, Western Australia 6000 2 Museum Zoologicum Bogoriense, LIPI, Jalan Ir. H. Juanda 9, Bogor, Indonesia 16122 Abstract Recent terrestrial vertebrate faunal surveys in Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, collected specimens of Pteropus lombocensis from islands from which the species had not previously been reported (Sumbawa, Lembata and Pantar), as well as from Lombok, Flores and Alor Islands. A univariate and multivariate statistical analysis of 28 morphological (skull dentary, dental and external) characters showed that adult P. /ombocensis was not sexually dimorphic, but that significant variation occurred, particularly in dental characters, between the island populations. Two subspecies are recognised in P. lombocensis. These are the western form, P././ombocensis Dobson, 1878 (Lombok and Sumbawa Islands), and the eastern form, P. l. heudei Matschie, 1899 (Flores, Lembata, Pantar and Alar).

These languages are surrounded by unrelated Austronesian languages, and attempts to locate related languages have focused on Papuan languages 800 km or more distant. In this paper we examine three hypotheses for genealogical relatedness, drawing on both pronominal and especially lexical evidence. We rely in particular on recent reconstructions of proto-Alor-Pantar vocabulary. Of the hypotheses evaluated here, we find the most striking similarities between TAP and the West Bomberai family.

The primary product of this research is an annotated corpus of audio and video recordings covering a range of genre and speech styles. All field data has been archived digitally following current best practice recommendations. Secondary products include a tri-lingual dictionary and a reference grammar. The use of aligned text and audio and the publication of a media corpus will ensure the future researchers have maximal access to original field data. The Pantar region remains one of the least documented linguistic areas in Indonesia, and almost no documentary information has previously been available for Western Pantar and many of the other non-Austronesian languages of Pantar. Through the use of best-practice language documentation techniques to create an enduring record of the language, the documentation produced by this project will broadly impact linguistic science, providing crucial typological data from a little-known part of the world’s linguistic landscape.

Gomang Sociology Department 1993 DECLARATION Except where otherwise indicated this thesis is my own work Syarifuddin R. Gomang July 1993 ii ABSTRACT Alor is a unique community in Indonesia. While most ethnic groups in the nation are hierarchical in social structure and modes of social interaction, the Alorese see their community as more egalitarian. This ethic of egalitarianism is a product of how clans are organized, and how the division of status and power roles between them are conceptualized. The ideology of egalitarianism is connected to the way in which the Alorese have established alliances with many other ethnic groups in Eastern Indonesia. Together their principles of social organization and alliance provide an alternative model of political organization relevant to national integration in Indonesia.

  • Papuan-Austronesian Language Contact: Alorese from an Areal Perspective
    Language Documentation & Conservation Special Publication No. 5 (December 2012) Melanesian Languages on the Edge of Asia: Challenges for the 21st Century, ed. by Nicholas Evans and Marian Klamer, pp. 72-108 http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc/sp05/ 4 http://hdl.handle.net/10125/4561 Papuan-Austronesian language contact: Alorese from an areal perspective Marian Klamer Leiden University This paper compares the grammar and lexicon of Alorese, an Austronesian language spoken in eastern Indonesia, with its closest genealogical relative, Lamaholot, spoken on east Flores, as well as with its geographical neighbours, the Papuan languages of Pantar. It focusses on the question how Alorese came to have the grammar and lexicon it has today. It is shown that Alorese and Lamaholot share a number of syntactic features which signal Papuan influences that must have been part of Proto-Lamaholot, suggesting (prehistoric) Papuan presence in the Lamaholot homeland in east Flores/Solor/ Adonara/ Lembata. The data indicate that Proto-Lamaholot had a rich morphology, which was completely shed by Alorese after it split from Lamaholot. At the same time, lexical congruence between Alorese and its current Papuan neighbours is limited, and syntactic congruence virtually absent. Combining the comparative linguistic data with what little is known about the history of the Alorese, I propose a scenario whereby Lamaholot was acquired as non-native language by spouses from different Papuan clans who were brought into the Lamaholot communities that settled on the coast of Pantar at least 600 years ago. Their morphologically simplified language was transferred to their children. The history of Alorese as reconstructed here suggests that at different time depths, different language contact situations had different outcomes: prehistoric contact between Papuan and Proto-Lamaholot in the Flores area resulted in a complexification of Proto-Lamaholot, while post-migration contact resulted in simplification.

Rodemeier Local tradition on Alor and Pantar; An attempt at localizing Galiyao In: Bijdragen tot de Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde 151 (1995), no: 3, Leiden, 438-442 This PDF-file was downloaded from http://www.kitlv-journals.nl Downloaded from Brill.com09/23/2021 03:26:25PM via free access BRIEF COMMUNICATIONS SUSANNE RODEMEIER Local Tradition on Alor and Pantar An Attempt at Localizing Galiyao Galiyao appears, among other geographical names, in the Nagara- Kertagama, an old Javanese text of the realm of Majapahit written in 1357. Early European maps and documents also mention Galiyao1 (Barnes 1982:407-8). Then, around 1650, the name seems to have suddenly disappeared. This 'disappearance' does not permit easy identification of the location of Galiyao. As a result, modern scholars trying to identify this location have had to argue indirectly, basing their determination on the sometimes rather vague information of early European sources. Van Fraassen (1976:295-6) based his identification on a phonetic similarity of names, suggesting an identification of Galiyao with the island of Kalao, situated between Flores and Selayar. Barnes acknowledges the strength of Van Fraassen's argument where he writes: 'Kalao does indeed look more like Galiyao than do the designations of any of the other islands or districts which have been suggested from time to time, and the strength of van Fraassen's position lies in this similarity' (Barnes 1982:407). Nonetheless, Barnes (1982:409) as well as Le Roux (1929:12), who relied basically on written documents and maps, came to the conclusion that the island of Pantar should be considered as the original Galiyao.
