Description

This series contains material from Sawu Island (in the Lesser Sunda Islands). It focuses on the local languages of Sawu and Hawu, and contains handwritten notes on grammar, diachronic development of the language, and pronunciation by Capell, comparative vocabulary lists (some possibly written and annotated by Capell), and local story texts.

The Nusa Tenggara, or Lesser Sunda Islands, are a group of islands in the middle-south part of the Malay Archipelago. Together with the Greater Sunda Islands to the west they make up the Sunda Islands.
