Abstract

Resulting from some thirteen years of work - 5000 word entries - over 400 of which are further expounded. A level of language collation probably never before seen for an Aslian language, let alone Temiar.The Temiars are the second largest indigenous people group of West Malaysia, after the Semais. They speak a Mon-Khmer language that has been preserved to this day very much undiluted by neighbouring language influence. It is hoped that this collation of word definitions - tried and very well tested with native Temiar speakers - can be a useful tool for students and linguists looking at Aslian languages or Temiar itself. It could also aid to preserve Temiar language and culture, for the generations to come.The work is only a draft and comments and feedback or advice are most welcome. I will continue to post updates.Updates:<br>02 2025: many corrections and new entries, added English-Temiar<br>
