The EMHo project centers on a Chinese-Spanish manuscript dictionary of the early seventeenth century: the "Bocabulario de lengua sangleya por las letraz de el A.B.C." Written by an anonymous Spanish missionary and comprising more than 200 double-sided folios, the Bocabulario offers a rich documentation of the language spoken by Chinese migrants in Manila. This language is known as Southern Min or alternatively, especially in Southeast Asia, as Hokkien. The project aims to make the content of the Bocabulario accessible through a digital scholarly edition comprising digital facsimiles, a diplomatic transcription, and an English translation. An extended normalized representation of the original Spanish text and additional linguistic annotations with interlinear glosses, tone transcriptions, and Chinese characters are intended to make the data accessible to a broader linguistic community, thereby creating new possibilities for the digital encoding of non-European languages. On the basis of this edition, the Bocabulario will be analyzed by situating it in three interrelated contexts: language history, missionary linguistics, and historical sociolinguistics. The historical-linguistic analysis builds on the hypothesis that Chinese migrants in Manila spoke a contact variety known as Early Manila Hokkien comprising features of different Southern Min dialects. Through systematic linguistic comparison, the project aims to determine the status of Early Manila Hokkien within the group of Southern Min dialects and the Southeast Asian linguistic area. Research in the field of missionary linguistics aims to classify the linguistic metalanguage and lexicographic structure of the Bocabulario from an Ibero-Romance perspective and to fathom, through terminological and lexicographic comparisons, how missionaries conceptualized a Chinese language outside of China – and thus in the absence of intellectual exchanges with Chinese language scholars. In its socio-historical dimensions, the project foregrounds the fact that Early Manila Hokkien was a language spoken by migrants. Since Chinese migration significantly added to the linguistic complexity of Manila, the project endeavors to reconstruct the nature of the linguistic setting of the city in the early phase of Spanish colonialism. Concretely speaking, we seek to gain insights into the status of Early Manila Hokkien vis-à-vis other languages and of prevailing colonial language ideologies that shaped the sociolinguistic setting.

EMHo 项目以 17 世纪初的汉西手稿词典为中心：“Bocabulario de lengua sangleya por las letraz de el A.B.C.” 《博卡布拉里奥》由一位匿名的西班牙传教士撰写，包含 200 多页双面对开本，提供了有关马尼拉中国移民所使用语言的丰富文献。这种语言被称为闽南语，或者，特别是在东南亚，被称为闽南语。该项目旨在通过数字学术版本提供《Bocabulario》的内容，其中包括数字传真、外交转录和英文翻译。原始西班牙语文本的扩展规范化表示以及带有行间注释、声调转录和汉字的附加语言注释旨在使更广泛的语言社区可以访问数据，从而为非欧洲语言的数字编码创造新的可能性。在此版本的基础上，我们将把《博卡布拉里奥》放在三个相互关联的背景下进行分析：语言史、传教语言学和历史社会语言学。历史语言学分析的假设是，马尼拉的中国移民讲的是一种被称为早期马尼拉闽南语的接触变体，包含不同闽南方言的特征。该项目旨在通过系统的语言比较，确定早期马尼拉闽南语在闽南方言群和东南亚语言区中的地位。传教语言学领域的研究旨在从伊比利亚-罗曼语的角度对《博卡布拉里奥》的语言元语言和词典结构进行分类，并通过术语和词典编纂的比较来了解传教士如何在中国境外——即在与中国语言学者缺乏知识交流的情况下——对汉语进行概念化。从社会历史维度来看，该项目强调了早期马尼拉闽南语是移民使用的语言这一事实​​。由于中国移民极大地增加了马尼拉的语言复杂性，该项目致力于重建西班牙殖民主义早期阶段该城市语言环境的性质。具体来说，我们试图深入了解早期马尼拉闽南语相对于其他语言的地位，以及塑造社会语言环境的盛行殖民语言意识形态。
