  • 2007 Series Change Requests Report
    ISO 639-3 Change Requests Series 2007 Summary of Outcomes Joan Spanne (SIL International), ISO 639-3 Registrar, 15 January 2008 Summary of requested changes There were 258 requests considered, recommending 404 explicit changes in the code set. Ten of the requests are still pending. The 247 requests that have been decided have been fully approved, entailing 383 explicit changes in the code set. The 10 requests still pending will be reported in an addendum to this report. The 383 explicit changes can be analyzed as follows: • Retirements: 75 o 7 non-existent languages; o 3 duplicate languages (treated separately from merges of sub-varieties); o 41 merged languages; o 24 split languages, resulting in 71 new language code elements (net gain of 47). • Completely new languages: 59 newly created languages not previously associated with another language in the code set. • Updates: 178 o 151 name updates, either change to a name form or addition of a name form; o 20 denotation updates of languages into which other varieties were merged; o 3 macrolanguage group updates (one spread across two requests, as two updates); o 2 new macrolanguage groups (existing individual languages changed in scope to macrolanguages); o 1 change in language type (which will in the future be handled outside the formal review process, as this is non-normative, supplementary information).

  • A Phylogenetic Approach to Comparative Linguistics: a Test Study Using the Languages of Borneo
    Hirzi Luqman 1st September 2010 A Phylogenetic Approach to Comparative Linguistics: a Test Study using the Languages of Borneo Abstract The conceptual parallels between linguistic and biological evolution are striking; languages, like genes are subject to mutation, replication, inheritance and selection. In this study, we explore the possibility of applying phylogenetic techniques established in biology to linguistic data. Three common phylogenetic reconstruction methods are tested: (1) distance-based network reconstruction, (2) maximum parsimony and (3) Bayesian inference. We use network analysis as a preliminary test to inspect degree of horizontal transmission prior to the use of the other methods. We test each method for applicability and accuracy, and compare their results with those from traditional classification. We find that the maximum parsimony and Bayesian inference methods are both very powerful and accurate in their phylogeny reconstruction. The maximum parsimony method recovered 8 out of a possible 13 clades identically, while the Bayesian inference recovered 7 out of 13. This match improved when we considered only fully resolved clades for the traditional classification, with maximum parsimony scoring 8 out of 9 possible matches, and Bayesian 7 out of 9 matches. Introduction different dialects and languages. And just as phylogenetic inference may be muddied by horizontal transmission, so “The formation of different languages and of distinct too may borrowing and imposition cloud true linguistic species, and the proofs that both have been developed relations. These fundamental similarities in biological and through a gradual process, are curiously parallel... We find language evolution are obvious, but do they imply that tools in distinct languages striking homologies due to community and methods developed in one field are truly transferable to of descent, and analogies due to a similar process of the other? Or are they merely clever and coincidental formation..

  • Borneo Biomedical Bibliography
    144 Index of ethnic and language groups Not all the groups living in Borneo are represented in this index because many have not been studied as to their health status or health problems. In addition, some cited reports do not specific the group or groups studied, or they use a name that is obsolete or incorrect. In cases where a group is identified as “Dayak,” the designation is of little value, except that Dayak is commonly taken to refer to any non-Muslim group in Borneo. Dayak, then, is neither an ethnic nor a linguistic identifier. For a geographical representation of Borneo groups, see the Borneo map in S. A. Wurm and S. Hattori, Land Atlas of the Pacific Area, Part 2, Japan Area, Taiwan (Formosa), Philippines, Mainland and Insular Southeast Asia, Australian Academy of the Humanities, Canberra, 1983. For Kalimantan in particular see the maps in B. Sellato (#647 in the bibliography). For a general classification of Borneo languages see M. Ruhlen, A Guide to the World’s Languages, Volume 1: Classification, Stanford University Press, Stanford, California, 1991. Details on the complexity of languages and language designations in Borneo, as well as language maps, are given in The Ethnologue, SIL International, Dallas, Texas, 1996-. It is available on-line at http://www.ethnologue.com. Linguistic relationships among Borneo groups are reviewed in A. Adelaar, The Austronesian languages of Southeast Asia and Madagascar: a historical perspective, in The Austronesian Languages of Southeast Asia and Madagascar, A. Adelaar and N. P. Himmelmann, eds., Routledge, London, 2005, pp. 1-41. Austronesian is a large language family that includes all the languages in Borneo.

  • The Case of Dusun in Brunei Darussalam Hjh. Dyg. Fatimah Binti
    3-5 February 2014- Istanbul, Turkey Proceedings of INTCESS14- International Conference on Education and Social Sciences Proceedings 1053 The Vitality & Revitalisation of a Minority Language: The Case of Dusun in Brunei Darussalam Hjh. Dyg. Fatimah binti Hj. Awg. Chuchu (Dr.) & Najib Noorashid Universiti Brunei Darussalam; Brunei Darussalam [email protected]; [email protected]. Keywords: Language vitality, language revitalisation, language extinction, ethnic minority, Dusun, Brunei. Abstract. Language extinction or language death is a sociolinguistic phenomenon which concerns and is often discussed among linguists or members of speaker in general (Aitchison, 2001; Crystal, 2000; Dalby, 2003; Mufwene, 2004; Nelson, 2007; Fishman, 2002; 2007). Due to rapid globalisation, the effect of linguistic "superstratum-substratum" is inevitable (Crystal, 2003), in particular to those languages of ethnic minorities; those in Brunei Darussalam are not the exclusion (Martin, 1995; Noor Azam, 2005; David, Cavallaro & Coluzzi, 2009; Clynes, 2012; Coluzzi, 2012). These minority languages are inclined to endangeredment due to urbanisation, education system, migrations and others, which lead to language shift and consequently, extinction. Brunei Darussalam is a multilingual country that has a diverse population and cultures which generate variations of language and dialect (Nothofer, 1991; Fatimah & Poedjosoedarmo, 1995; Azmi Abdullah, 2001; Jaludin Chuchu, 2005; David, Cavallaro & Coluzzi, 2009). Recognised as one of the seven indigenous in Brunei under the Citizenship Status laws 1961 of the Constitution of Negari Brunei 1959, Dusun ethnic is alleged to have and practice its own code of dialect. All dialects and languages spoken by indigenous ethnics are regarded as minority languages, except for the dialect of Brunei Malay. By focusing on Dusun dialect, this paper discusses the current situation of its language use and perceptions among the native speakers.

  • Indigenous Languages and English in the Globalised Modern Era in Brunei Darussalam
    KEMANUSIAAN Vol. 27, No. 2, (2020), 165–178 Indigenous Languages and English in the Globalised Modern Era in Brunei Darussalam DAVID DETERDING Universiti Brunei Darussalam, Brunei [email protected] Published online: 20 October 2020 To cite this article: David Deterding. 2020. Indigenous languages and English in the globalised modern era in Brunei Darussalam. KEMANUSIAAN the Asian Journal of Humanities 27(2): 165– 178. https://doi.org/10.21315/kajh2020.27.2.9 To link to this article: https://doi.org/10.21315/kajh2020.27.2.9 Abstract. This article considers two aspects of the linguistic situation in Brunei Darussalam in the globalised modern era: the situation with regard to minority indigenous languages: and the emergent status of Brunei English. Minority languages are threatened with extinction throughout the world and those in Brunei are no exception. There are seven officially recognised indigenous groups, each with its own language, though these are sometimes all claimed to be dialects of Malay—Brunei Malay, Kedayan, Dusun, Bisaya, Tutong, Belait and Murut—but all these languages apart from Brunei Malay are under threat, even though some efforts are currently being undertaken to preserve them. English is also widely spoken in Brunei and Brunei English has features that make it distinct from other Englishes in the world. Some of these features are shared by other regional varieties of English and others are unique to Brunei. The article therefore, analyses the status of the minority languages of Brunei, describes efforts to preserve them and also evaluates the developing status of Brunei English as it evolves under the influences of globalisation; and it finally reflects on problems with neat classification into distinct languages.
