Who we are

We are scholars and language activists driven by a deep enthusiasm for the rich diversity of indigenous languages in Indonesia, with a particular focus on Austronesian and Papuan language families. 
 
Our work is grounded in rigorous research that seeks to document, describe, and better understand the linguistic information, features, histories, and sociocultural contexts of these languages, many of which are underdocumented and increasingly endangered. 
 
By engaging with both Austronesian and Papuan languages across Indonesia, we position ourselves as committed participants in preserving linguistic diversity and fostering community-based knowledge.
