The Holle List (hereafter HL) consists of approximately 1000 lexical items designed by K. F. Holle (1829-1896), an “eminent authority and lover of the Netherlands Indies and their people” (Stokhof 1980: 1). The HL was prepared to be dispersed across the Indonesian archipelago to gather knowledge about the linguistic situation of Indonesia, the then Dutch colony.
-The HL exists in three variants (versions 1894, 1904/1911, and 1931) differing slightly in content and the order of the items. The HL in this engganolang
GitHub repository (Rajeg 2023) is the “new basic list (NBL)” set up by Stokhof (1980: 17, 22–72) “to facilitate comparative work” across the three different variants of the HL (see Table 1 for the interactive version and the raw file here). The NBL captures all lexical items appearing in the three variants of the HL, except those items “which never or hardly ever appeared to be filled in by the researchers” (Stokhof 1980: 17). These exception items appear as footnotes in the word list of each target language.
