| contents | <p>Raja Ampat-South Halmahera is a subbranch of South Halmahera-West New Guinea branch of the Austronesian language family. The Raja Ampat-South Halmahera languages are spoken in the Raja Ampat archipelago, just off the northwest tip of New Guinea, and in southern Halmahera, about 350km further west.</p> <p>This dataset is an Excel spreadsheet listing the Austronesian etyma with reflexes in the Raja Ampat-South Halmahera languages. For each etymon, the spreadsheet provides the attested reflexes, and an account of the segmental developments that derive these forms at different stages of the family tree. For the South Halmahera languages, the developments are provided down to the level of Proto-Raja Ampat-South Halmahera; for the Raja Ampat languages, the developments continue down to the reflexes attested in the present day.</p> <p>The data from Raja Ampat-South Halmahera languages and proto-languages are drawn from the following published sources:</p> <table style="width: 81.569%; height: 352.688px;"> <tbody> <tr style="height: 58.7812px;"> <td style="width: 16.3573%; height: 58.7812px;"><strong>Language</strong></td> <td style="width: 12.181%; height: 58.7812px;"><strong>Raja Ampat/South Halmahera</strong></td> <td style="width: 9.86079%; height: 58.7812px;"><strong>Proto-language?</strong></td> <td style="width: 11.0209%; height: 58.7812px;"><strong>Glottocode</strong></td> <td style="width: 29.1183%; height: 58.7812px;"><strong>Source</strong></td> <td style="width: 21.3457%; height: 58.7812px;"><strong>Notes</strong></td> </tr> <tr style="height: 39.1875px;"> <td style="width: 16.3573%; height: 39.1875px;">Proto-Maˈya-Salawati</td> <td style="width: 12.181%; height: 39.1875px;">Raja Ampat</td> <td style="width: 9.86079%; height: 39.1875px;">Y</td> <td style="width: 11.0209%; height: 39.1875px;">n/a</td> <td style="width: 29.1183%; height: 39.1875px;">Arnold (2024)</td> <td style="width: 21.3457%; height: 39.1875px;">Reconstructions justified in Arnold (2025)</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 19.5938px;"> <td style="width: 16.3573%; height: 19.5938px;">Matbat</td> <td style="width: 12.181%; height: 19.5938px;">Raja Ampat</td> <td style="width: 9.86079%; height: 19.5938px;">N</td> <td style="width: 11.0209%; height: 19.5938px;"><a href="https://glottolog.org/resource/languoid/id/matb1237">matb1237</a></td> <td style="width: 29.1183%; height: 19.5938px;">Arnold (2024)</td> <td style="width: 21.3457%; height: 19.5938px;">Data originally collated from Remijsen (2015)</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 19.5938px;"> <td style="width: 16.3573%; height: 19.5938px;">Proto-Ambel</td> <td style="width: 12.181%; height: 19.5938px;">Raja Ampat</td> <td style="width: 9.86079%; height: 19.5938px;">Y</td> <td style="width: 11.0209%; height: 19.5938px;">n/a</td> <td style="width: 29.1183%; height: 19.5938px;">Arnold (2024)</td> <td style="width: 21.3457%; height: 19.5938px;">Reconstructions justified in Arnold (2020)</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 19.5938px;"> <td style="width: 16.3573%; height: 19.5938px;">As</td> <td style="width: 12.181%; height: 19.5938px;">Raja Ampat</td> <td style="width: 9.86079%; height: 19.5938px;">N</td> <td style="width: 11.0209%; height: 19.5938px;"><a href="https://glottolog.org/resource/languoid/id/asss1237">asss1237</a></td> <td style="width: 29.1183%; height: 19.5938px;">Arnold (2024)</td> <td style="width: 21.3457%; height: 19.5938px;"> </td> </tr> <tr style="height: 39.1875px;"> <td style="width: 16.3573%; height: 39.1875px;">Gebe/Minyaifun</td> <td style="width: 12.181%; height: 39.1875px;">South Halmahera</td> <td style="width: 9.86079%; height: 39.1875px;">N</td> <td style="width: 11.0209%; height: 39.1875px;"><a href="https://glottolog.org/resource/languoid/id/gebe1237">gebe1237</a></td> <td style="width: 29.1183%; height: 39.1875px;">Blust et al.
