I'd like to work with someone who is interested in Austronesian languages and/or has some background in CS! (And it would be a plus if they are also a Bi-Co student so that it is easier to coordinate working together in person.)
Here are the languages I am considering:

Puyuma

  • Basic information:
    • Austronesian
    • ISO: pyu
    • Speaker population: 1,000
    • Spoken in Taitung county (Eastern Taiwan). Speakers are mostly bilingual in Mandarin Chinese and/or Min Chinese, and some also speak Japanese.
    • Status: 8a (Moribund)
  • Morphological typology: agglutinative, example: Temakaw (steal, active voice); tu=Takaw-aw (3.GEN=steal-patient voice); tu=Takaw-ay=ku (3.GEN=steal-locative voice=1S.NOM). (source: Teng, Stacy Fang-ching (2007). A Reference Grammar of Puyuma, an Austronesian Language of Taiwan.)
  • Finding text: There are pedagogical resources by the Taiwan Council of Indigenous Peoples, such as materials for the indigenous language proficiency test and an online talking textbook, although they are Puyuma-Chinese. There is also a wordlist as part of the Austronesian Comparative Dictionary. It seems like there is a translation of the bible but I have not managed to find a digital version.

Amami

  • Basic information:
    • Japonic, Ryukyuan
    • ISO: ryu (northern variety)
    • Speaker population: 9,800
    • Spoken in Kagoshima prefecture (southern Japan): north Amami-Oshima and northwest Okinawa islands. Speakers are mostly bilingual in Japanese.
    • Status: 7 (Shifting)
  • Morphological typology: agglutinative, example: ik-joo=jəə (go-INT=CFM); ik-ju-n=nja (go-UMRK-NPST=Q) (source: Niinaga, Yuto (2015). Amami Grammar in Handbook of the Ryukyuan Languages.)
  • Finding text: I found several papers/grammars/theses about Amami, and I think that will constitute enough example sentences.

Marshallese

  • Basic information:
    • Austronesian, Malayo-Polynesian
    • ISO: mah
    • Speaker population: 82,300
    • Mostly spoken in Marshall Islands
    • Status: 1 (National). De facto national language
  • Morphological typology: agglutinative
  • Finding text: I don't anticipate it being difficult to find text, since this is a national language
