  • The Languages and Peoples of the Müller Mountains a Contribution to the Study of the Origins of Borneo’S Nomads and Their Languages

SorienteWacana Vol., The 16 languages No. 2 (2015): and peoples 339–354 of the Müller Mountains 339 The languages and peoples of the Müller Mountains A contribution to the study of the origins of Borneo’s nomads and their languages Bernard Sellato and Antonia Soriente Abstract The Müller and northern Schwaner mountain ranges are home to a handful of tiny, isolated groups (Aoheng, Hovongan, Kereho, Semukung, Seputan), altogether totaling about 5,000 persons, which are believed to have been forest hunter-gatherers in a distant or recent past. Linguistic data were collected among these groups and other neighbouring groups between 1975 and 2010, leading to the delineation of two distinct clusters of languages of nomadic or formerly nomadic groups, which are called MSP (Müller-Schwaner Punan) and BBL (Bukat-Beketan-Lisum) clusters. These languages also display lexical affinity to the languages of various major Bornean settled farming groups (Kayan, Ot Danum). Following brief regional and particular historical sketches, their phonological systems and some key features are described and compared within the wider local linguistic setting, which is expected to contribute to an elucidation of the ultimate origins of these people and their languages. Keywords Borneo, nomads, hunter-gatherers, languages, history, Müller Mountains, Punan, Bukat, Aoheng. Bernard Sellato is a senior researcher at the Centre Asie du Sud-Est (CNRS/EHESS) in Paris.

S. A.* Summary Forty-eight species ofMedinilla are now known from Borneo, 28 of which are describedas new. At least 20 taxa are known only from one to three collections. Eleven species groups have been of the awaits further of recognized and defined.A more thorough understanding genus study Philip- pine and New Guinea materials. A key to the Bornean species, illustrations of 15 species, and eco- logical notes are provided. Two previously described species are recorded for the first time for Bor- neo: Medinilla succulenta (Blume) Blume, and M. pterocaula Blume. One new combinationand five reductions have been made. Medinilla tawaensis Merrill is transferred to Catanthera; M. caudatifolia Schwartz and M. hasseltii Blume var. subsessilis Schwartz are reduced to M. crassifolia (Reinw. ex Blume) Blume; M. dajakorum Schwartz is reduced to M. corallina Cogn.; M. borneensis Blume and M. motleyi Hook. f. ex Triana are conspecific with M. macrophylla Blume. Introduction Medinilla (Melastomataceae) is a genus of epiphytic and terrestrial shrubs and climbersof the Paleotropics. It includes about 400 species (Shaw, 1973) distributed in Africa, Madagascar, India, Ceylon, Burma, Indochina,southern China, Thailand, the Malay Peninsula, and eastward to the islands of the Malay Archipelago, New Guinea, northern Australia, Micronesia, and Melanesia. It is by far the largest of all melastome genera occurring in Malesia, a floristic region made up of the Malay Peninsula and islands of the Malay Archipelago extending to New Guinea.

  • Social Science Research and Conservation Management in the Interior of Borneo Unravelling Past and Present Interactions of People and Forests
    SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH AND CONSER The Culture & Conservation Research Program in Kayan Mentarang National Park, East Kalimantan, constituted a unique interdisciplinary engagement in central Borneo that lasted for six years (1991-97). Based on original ethnographic, ecological, and historical data, this volume comprehensively describes the people and the environment of this region and makes MANAGEMENT VATION IN THE INTERIOR OF BORNEO a rare contribution to the understanding of past and present interactions between people and forests in central Borneo. Kayan Mentarang has thus become one of the ethnographically best known protected areas in Southeast Asia. By pointing at the interface between research and forest management, this book offers tools for easing the antagonism between applied and scholarly research, and building much needed connections across fields of knowledge.

    Introduction Assalamu'alaikumWarahmatullahiWabarakatuh Alhamdulillah, praise to Allah SWT, God The Almighty on the implementation of the preparation of the book "The Study of Investment Opportunities in East Kalimantan Province (Singkong Gajah / Cassava Elephant, Waste Palm Oil and Coconut)". The purpose and goal is as sufficient information about the potential and investment opportunities in East Kalimantan, especially in commodity Singkong Gajah (cassava elephant) as a raw material of bio‐ethanol, waste palm oil as an ingredient of wood pellets and coconut as a source of bio‐fuel as well as reference / referral in order to promote the potential and investment opportunities that becomes more targeted, effective, and efficient. The publication of the Book of “The Study of Investment Opportunities in East Kalimantan Province (Cassava Elephant, Waste Palm Oil and Coconut) 2015” is aimed that it can provide the information about the investment potential of the industry especially to the commodity of Singkong Gajah (cassava elephant) as a bio‐ethanol, waste oil as an ingredient of wood pellets and coconut as a source of bio‐fuel in East Kalimantan through Investment and Licensing Agency (BPPMD). We realize though this book has been prepared as well as possible, shortcomings and negligence and error is likely to occur, to the criticisms and suggestions that are build for the improvement of Book Study of Investment Opportunities in East Kalimantan Province (Singkong Gajah / Cassava Elephant, Waste Palm Oil and Coconut) 2015.

The availability of favourable conditions for carbonate sedimentation around Borneo was related to a combination of factors, including tectonic setting, the formation of large basinal areas, dierential subsidence providing shallow marine areas, a tropical climate and a range of local factors, such as currents or limited clastic input. A detailed sedimentological and diagenetic study was undertaken of middle Eocene to Plio±Pleistocene carbonates which developed in the north Kutai Basin and the Mangkalihat Peninsula, northeast Kalimantan. Carbonate sedimentation in this area occurred in a range of depositional environments, from mixed carbonate clastic shelves, localised and transient shoals or reefs, a variety of platform top settings to deep water redeposited carbonates. An understanding of carbonate depositional environments, spatial facies relationships, and diagenesis is essential in order to develop models for these carbonates which can be used as predictive tools in the subsurface.
