Austronesian Numbers Project南島數字計畫
這是一個私人BLOG形式的觀察計畫，作者現居於菲律賓，並非語言學家，也沒有受過任何學術訓練。作者相信從某方面而言這或許是一件好事，「我只需找出這些字是如何被放在一起，大可忽略語音學、比較理論等等，以及最基本的文法問題等等...」這些觀察記錄提供一些學術之外的有趣觀點。作者在這個網址提供了一個示範性的工作表：http://coconutstudio.com/Austro%20Nos%20Mar2008%2011-3.xls
提供大約1600個數字系統，以南島語和巴布亞語做對照，並試圖加以分析，並以圖表使資訊系統化羅列。用這種方式顯示不同語群之間數字型態的關連性。這些資料將會進一步運用到地圖上，使關連性更加清楚。

I'' ve posted the current version of my worksheet on the web at:

So far, I''ve listed some 1600 number systems in both Austronesian and Papuan languages, and analysed them as best I can, with a code system that reduces a mass of information to a manageable size.
Examples:Maisin 6 = faketi tarosi taure sese which means ''hand over 1'' is coded 5\1 because faketi tarosi is 5, the \ stands for a regular ''connector'' and sese means 1.
The coding has made it much easier to visualise connections between number-types in various language sub-groups (and whether they match up or not) and their distribution over larger areas.This informaion (when I''ve worked out how to use Photo-Shop) will be transferred to geographical maps, making the picture a whole lot clearer.
