This project aims to investigate endangered languages of the Asia-Pacific via four undocumented languages in the Barrier Islands, Indonesia. New knowledge will be generated into the languages, cultures and societies of the region on an unprecedented scale, and be made freely available to the public. New data will uncover past migration patterns in Southeast Asia, advance language theory (such as linguistic typology and language change), and support the computational modelling of Austronesian for future language technologies. Connections with Indonesian institutions will strengthen Australia’s regional engagement, and support language revitalisation and maintenance among minority communities for the preservation of their culture and history.

该项目旨在通过印度尼西亚Barrier群岛的四种无证语言调查亚太地区的濒危语言。新知识将以前所未有的规模融入本区域的语言、文化和社会，并免费提供给公众。新的数据将揭示东南亚过去的移民模式，推进语言理论（如语言类型学和语言变化），并为未来的语言技术支持南岛语族的计算建模。与印度尼西亚机构的联系将加强澳大利亚的区域参与，并支持少数民族社区的语言振兴和维护，以保护其文化和历史。
