Mah Meri is an Aslian (Austroasiatic: Mon-Khmer) language spoken in
scattered settlements along a section of the southwest coast of
Selangor in Peninsular Malaysia. The Mah Meri are the only Aslian
speakers who live in a coastal environment. Their language, which
may have about 2,000 speakers, has no written language and is
highly endangered. This is the first comprehensive dictionary of
Mah Meri and is based on the author's extensive field research and
consultation with members of the community over the last ten years.
The dialect presented here is spoken by about 600 people at Bukit
Bangkong, the most southerly Mah Meri settlement. The dictionary
contains around 4,000 entries, each with a phonetic transcription
and translations in both English and Malay. Many entries are
further complemented by illustrative examples, notes on usage,
derivations, ethnographic information, and illustrations-all
provide insight into the world of Mah Meri speakers. Two finder
lists (English-Mah Meri and Malay-Mah Meri) are included, giving
access to the intended audience of international and local scholars
and community members. The volume also includes a general
introduction to the Mah Meri, notes to assist the reader in using
the dictionary, and a short grammatical description.
