| description | The historical relations of the Papuan languages scattered across the islands of
the Alor archipelago, Timor, and Kisar in southeast Indonesia have remained
largely conjectural. This paper makes a first step toward demonstrating that
the languages of Alor and Pantar form a single genealogical group. Applying
the comparative method to primary lexical data from twelve languages sampled
across the islands of the Alor-Pantar archipelago, we use form-meaning
pairings in basic cognate sets to establish regular sound correspondences that
support the view that these languages are genetically related. We reconstruct
97 Proto‒Alor-Pantar vocabulary items and propose an internal subgrouping
based on shared innovations. Finally, we compare Alor-Pantar with Papuan
languages of Timor and with Trans-New Guinea languages, concluding that
there is no lexical evidence supporting the inclusion of Alor-Pantar languages
in the Trans-New Guinea family. |
