Databases
- Bantu Lexical Reconstructions 3
BLR 3 is a database with ca. 10,000 entries that have been proposed as Proto-Bantu reconstructions. BLR 3 is meant to be a working tool for Bantuists and other linguists.
The last version was edited by Yvonne Bastin and Thilo C. Schadeberg... Yvonne Bastin is currently (2008) preparing an update in collaboration with Koen Bostoen and Jacky Maniacky.
- Comparative Bantu Pottery Vocabulary
The Comparative Bantu Pottery Vocabulary Database offers a comprehensive collection of pottery related vocabulary in the Bantu languages.
The Comparative Bantu Pottery Vocabulary Database has been mainly composed during the PhD-research which Koen Bostoen carried out at the Service of Linguistics of the Royal Museum for Central Africa between 2000 and 2004.
The research was made possible thanks to a grant of the Fonds d'Encouragement à la Recherche de l'Université Libre de Bruxelles.
