Synopsis:Purpose: We hope that more people will devote to the study of the Formosan languages and integrate our project. Coverage: Taiwan, TGN: Chung-hua Min-kuo(nation).Scope:(i) texts: During the first year project, we have drawn the emphasis on Rukai, a Formosan language which stretches across the south of Taiwan and includes six different dialects (Mantauran, Maga, Tona, Budai, Labuan and Tanan). Each text is divided into sentences and every sentence is translated in both Chinese and English. Users can also listen to the pronunciation of each sentence through the recorded sound file. Every word is analyzed and each morpheme separated by a hyphen. (ii) a geographical information system: It permits a search of basic lexical items in the Formosan languages and an identification of cognates and non-cognates and their mapping onto the map of Taiwan. (iii) four databases on related publication: linguistics, language teaching, literature and music.
