Ponosakan: The Sounds of a Silently Dying Language (Article)
Title: Ponosakan: The Sounds of a Silently Dying Language
Author: Jason Lobel
Abstract: Ponosakan is a near-extinct Greater Central Philippine language spoken on the
large central Indonesian island of Sulawesi. Little has appeared in the literature
about the language, which now has only four fully fluent speakers, ranging in age
from 70 to 92 years old. The purpose of this paper is to present a brief introduction
to the language, including its phoneme system and grammatical subsystems.
Accompanying this paper are over 300 audio recordings, to give the world an
opportunity to hear a language that is rarely spoken even in its traditional home.
