Ampanang language

(Redirected from Ampanang)

Ampanang is an extinct Austronesian language spoken at the village of Ampanang (no longer exists today), at the Kahala river (flowing into Lake Semayang and eventually the Mahakam), modern-day East Kalimantan. It is closely related to Tunjung, forming the Mahakam languages.[2] This language has extremely little documentation, and is only known from a 19-word vocabulary list on Beschrijving van de Onderafdeeling Koetei (1905).[3] However, the 16th edition of the Ethnologue reported 30,000 speakers as of 1981.[1]

As previously mentioned above, Ampanang is a poorly attested language that only known from a list of 19 words plus its native name, and both were included on S. C. Knappert's work Beschrijving van de Onderafdeeling Koetei from 1905. While the paper largely focused on the Subdistrict of Kutai and its history, he reported that Ampanang had been already displaced by, or mixed with Kutainese or Malay among the younger generation.
