  • 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).

  • The Lawu Languages
    The Lawu languages: footprints along the Red River valley corridor Andrew Hsiu ([email protected]) https://sites.google.com/site/msealangs/ Center for Research in Computational Linguistics (CRCL), Bangkok, Thailand Draft published on December 30, 2017; revised on January 8, 2018 Abstract In this paper, Lawu (Yang 2012) and Awu (Lu & Lu 2011) are shown to be two geographically disjunct but related languages in Yunnan, China forming a previously unidentified sub-branch of Loloish (Ngwi). Both languages are located along the southwestern banks of the Red River. Additionally, Lewu, an extinct language in Jingdong County, may be related to Lawu, but this is far from certain due to the limited data. The possible genetic position of the unclassified Alu language in Lüchun County is also discussed, and my preliminary analysis of the highly limited Alu data shows that it is likely not a Lawu language. The Lawu (alternatively Lawoid or Lawoish) branch cannot be classified within any other known branch or subgroup or Loloish, and is tentatively considered to be an independent branch of Loloish. Further research on Lawu languages and surrounding under-documented languages would be highly promising, especially on various unidentified languages of Jinping County, southern Yunnan. Table of contents Abstract 1. Introduction 2. Lawu 3. Awu 4. Lewu Yao: a possible relative of Lawu 5. Alu: a Lalo language rather than a Lawu language 6. Conclusions 7. Final remarks: suggestions for future research References Appendix 1: Comparative word list of Awu, Lawu, and Proto-Lalo Appendix 2: Phrase list of Lewu Yao Appendix 3: Comparative word list of Yi lects of Lüchun County 1 1.

Republication or commercial use of a Language and Culture Documentation and Description or the documents contained therein is expressly prohibited without the written consent of the copyright holder. Managing Editor Eric Kindberg Series Editor Lana Martens Content Editor Lynn Frank Copy Editor Sue McQuay Compositor Bonnie Waswick Abstract This grammar research guide describes the range of syntactic variety found in a representative group of well-described Ngwi languages. This overview of syntactic variety should make the guide useful for field linguists preparing to describe any of the forty-eight Ngwi languages that were recognized for the first time in the sixteenth edition of the Ethnologue (Lewis 2009). This is done by giving examples of where and how widely the languages in this group vary even within the typical categories of the Ngwi languages, including sentence introducers, conjunctions, noun types, compounding, derivation, noun particles, postnominal clausal particles, classifiers and numerals, negation, adjectives, pronouns, adverbs, verb types, verb concatenations, preverbal and postverbal slots, verb particles, clause-final and sentence- final particles, simple sentences, compound sentences, and complex sentences.

  • 488 Ethnolinguistic Unengaged* Unreached People Groups Populations Over 10,000 (Sorted by Country)
    XXX 488 Ethnolinguistic Unengaged* Unreached People Groups Populations over 10,000 (sorted by Country) I. What is this list? The list on the pages that follow is made up of those ethnolinguistic people groups where there are no KNOWN full-time workers reported at the time of this printing. All research information is changing rapidly. We recognize that there may be groups over 10,000 in population that have not been included in this list. We have not included "Christian Adherents" groups though some of these groups may need to be re- evangelized. Groups from cultural and nominal Christian backgrounds are included on the CPPI index found at www.peoplegroups.org. Profiles, additional data, and resources are available at www.joshuaproject.org. II. This list focuses on ethnolinguistic UNENGAGED, Unreached People Groups. We acknowledge that there are many unreached people groups that still need many more workers for the harvest. The purpose of this list is to focus on those groups which have no KNOWN workers engaging in full- time evangelism and church planting. III. We value your updated information. If you know of any information that needs to be updated on this list, please e-mail us at [email protected]. We are tracking the number of known believers, the number of churches, the number of full-time workers, and other related information. IV. Where did this information come from? The list of groups is a subset of information provided by the International Mission Board, Joshua Project, and the Center the Study of Global Christianity. The number of workers, churches planted, and estimated believers come from 1,262 churches and organizations involved in the Finishing The Task (FTT) network.

The area, much of which lies within Sibiloi National Park, supports a diverse flora. Here we provide a list of 367 plant species (361 angiosperms) collected from an area of about 2600 km2 between 2012 and 2014, compare the region’s angiosperm flora with the only other documented floras nearby, discuss the principal vegetation types in the study area, and highlight occurrences of some less common plants and plants of restricted distribution. Some 137 plant species (131 angiosperms) are newly documented in this region, none of which have been recorded in the Marsabit region to the east-southeast or in the lower Omo Valley to the northwest. Comparison of the flora of this region with reported floras of the Omo Valley and the Marsabit region show that only 98 species are common to all three areas, and that each area has unique taxa that make up about one-third of its angiosperm flora.
