A research team consisting of Dr. Peter Cole, Dr. Gabriella Hermon, and Dr. Uri Tadmor, assisted by Ms. Yanti Jotika, a graduate student in linguistics, will conduct linguistic fieldwork on Traditional Jambi Malay, an endangered Malay variety spoken in Jambi Province in southeast Sumatra, Indonesia. Malay-Indonesian is a major world language, perhaps the fourth most widely spoken language in the world. Yet there are almost no thorough scientific descriptions of vernacular Malayic languages and Malay-Indonesian dialects. Grammars of Malay-Indonesian as well as most theoretical works on the language are almost entirely based on the quasi-artificial standard language. Most native speakers of Malay live in Sumatra, many more than in Malaysia, yet there is not even one thorough grammatical description of a Sumatran Malay dialect. Traditional Jambi Malay is an ideal choice because Jambi is widely considered to be original locus of Melayu (the Malay-Indonesian term for 'Malay'), and is thus the key to understanding the complex diasystem of hundreds of Malay dialects. The linguistic field work will be carried out in two villages, Mudung Laut and Tanjung Raden, where Traditional Jambi Malay still exhibits many features lost in the koineized urban variety spoken in Jambi City. The results of the project will include a general description of the language, documentation of the language in the form of a computerized database of texts linked to digital recordings in a variety of genres, and theoretically oriented studies based on the data. An automatically generated Jambi Malay-English-Indonesian glossary will also be produced, which will serve as the basis for a Jambi Malay dictionary in the second stage of the project. Finally, the investigators will prepare two locally published volumes, one of folk stories and the other autobiographical sketches.Broader impacts of the project include first and foremost the documentation and description of an endangered language (an important priority for linguistics around the world), as well as the training of a speaker of that language as a field linguist. The project will also create cultural materials for use by the speakers of the language. The project involves cooperation between U.S. scientists and scientific institutions abroad: The director of the Jakarta Field Station of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology is a co-PI on the project. The project also plays a role in the training of American graduate students with regard to the importance of work on endangered languages and contributing to the preservation of the linguistic and cultural heritage of a marginalized community. Equally important is the role of the project in training international graduate students.

由彼得·科尔博士、加布里埃拉·赫尔蒙博士和尤里·塔德莫博士组成的研究小组，在语言学研究生Yanti Jotika女士的协助下，将对印度尼西亚苏门答腊岛东南部占比省说的一种濒危马来语--传统的Jambi马来语进行语言田野调查。马来语-印度尼西亚语是一种主要的世界语言，可能是世界上第四种使用最广泛的语言。然而，几乎没有对当地的马来西亚语言和马来语-印度尼西亚方言进行全面的科学描述。马来语-印尼语的语法以及大多数关于该语言的理论著作几乎完全建立在准人工标准语言的基础上。大多数以马来语为母语的人生活在苏门答腊岛，比马来西亚多得多，但苏门答腊语马来语甚至没有一个完整的语法描述。传统的Jambi马来语是一个理想的选择，因为Jambi被广泛认为是Melayu(马来语-印度尼西亚语的马来语)的原产地，因此是理解数百种马来语复杂变音系统的关键。语言田野工作将在Mudung Laut和Tanjung Raden两个村庄进行，在那里，传统的Jambi马来语仍然显示出许多在Jambi市所说的幼稚的城市语言中消失的特征。该项目的成果将包括对该语言的一般说明，以计算机数据库形式记录该语言与各种流派的数字录音相联系的文本，以及基于这些数据的面向理论的研究。还将编制一个自动生成的Jambi马来语-英语-印度尼西亚语词汇，作为项目第二阶段Jambi马来语词典的基础。最后，调查人员将准备在当地出版的两卷书，一本是民间故事，另一本是自传体小品。该项目的广泛影响首先包括记录和描述濒危语言(这是世界各地语言学的重要优先事项)，以及将说这种语言的人培训为实地语言学家。该项目还将制作文化材料，供讲这种语言的人使用。该项目涉及美国科学家和海外科研机构之间的合作：马克斯·普朗克进化人类学研究所雅加达野外站主任是该项目的联合PI。该项目还在培训美国研究生认识有关濒危语言的工作的重要性方面发挥作用，并有助于保护边缘化社区的语言和文化遗产。同样重要的是该项目在培养国际研究生方面的作用。
