著名語言學者白樂思於《南島起源》新書發表會預錄致詞
The UNESCO announced 2019 as the “International Year of Indigenous Languages.” Within the “Global Cooperation and Training Framework”(GCTF), Taiwan, the Unites States, Japan, and Palau cooperated and held this “International Austronesian Languages Revitalization Forum” in Palau, hoping that the governments of all countries should review and fulfill their pledge to actively revive, preserve and sustain indigenous languages. What we achieved in this forum may start Taiwan’s connection to all Austronesian-speaking peoples. Thus, in this compilation of the forum, the views from scholars and specialists of archaeology, genetics, linguistics and other perspectives are brought together to discuss the theories of Austronesian origin and to share the language revitalization experiences from different countries.
聯合國教科文組織宣布2019年為「國際原住民族語言年」，在「臺美全球合作暨訓練架構(GCTF)」的框架下，臺灣、美國、日本與帛琉等國共同合作，在帛琉辦理「南島語言復振國際論壇」，希望各國政府重新檢視並落實對原住民族語言積極復振、保存與永續的承諾。本次論壇的成果，是臺灣連結南島語族的起點，因此本書特別邀請當日發表的學者專家，分別從考古學、基因學、語言學等觀點探討南島語族起源說，分享各國語言復振實例。
Dear Bob, we miss you! RIP.
Oh, I was not aware that Prof. Blust passed away. RIP
ma'alo (SaiSiyat) & masalu (Paiwan) & mahalo (Haiwaiian) to you Dr. Blust. You were a pleasure to know and will be dearly missed.

Hello, I am a marine spatial ecology researcher from Indonesia, and I am an Austronesian ! Looking forward to engaging more with my Austronesian fellows !
This is very important update and development in our history. Philippines history books taught us that our origins came from Negritos who walked by land bridges. Later on when sea was rising, people from Indonesia and Malay by boats arrived and settled here.
There were not enough study about Austronesian Migration during that time so you cannot really blame the system for teaching the old migration theory.
Kalma.
@@ProximaCentauri88 my impression though is that it is still being taught at schools in the Philippines, rather than updating it to better represent the actual history.
@Anthony Ngu nope. Its no longer taught in schools. There are new archeological findings that shed light on our ancestors. And the deep dive of this new findings are being taught in college. Hopefully, it will find its way into highschool textbooks.
@@bunieeee some public schools in elementary and highschool are still teaching h. otley beyer's waves of migration theory made during american era early 20th century, just translated to tagalog/filipino even tho it is outdated already. they just do not teach the cave man part.
It is a truly awe-inspiring chapter in human history that deserves to be known and celebrated.

Ilokano from Philippines 🇵🇭 ♥️ Austronesian
In Java were found fossils of humanoid with varied dating, the oldest one is meganthropus paleo javanicus and the youngest one is phitecanthropus erectus.
Ty Prof Rober Blust! seem iam not the Crazy one! following the trails too discover about my heritage!¬ Eden in the east by Stephan oppenheimer is also a very great book about the subject!
Amazing
Great human hestory indeed.
It is really wrong to say that Filipinos are from Borneo. Because of the taiwan and laguna copper plate and because of the age of its discovery in the philippines and the human bone in luzon. and this is the oldest year of the discovery. It is older than those discovered in indonesia and malaysia. the truth is the indonesians and malaysian and bruneian are from the philippines. On the island of the Philippines. Because the Filipino's ancestor is from the native people of Taiwan
that is not the point, Borneo just adds a new settlement in the philippine there is already ppl.
The malay world has a lot more admixture from mainland Asian countries such as India and from the austroasiatics of MSEA.
@@StickyKeys187 not really as far as I experience, Indonesia's Austronesian study is very poor and not studied enough I've seen Polynesians looking ppl in Sumatra while Madagascar is already colonialize by Java islanders, let alone talking about genetics or evolution, the govt never value science, and the English countries never value our finding with commentary, critic and so on, they just focus on dutch east indies science even tho it's also very poor due to lack of scientific comment.
politic is always the problem of science.
@@werren894 Fair enough. My comment was adding on top of OP's response between the Philippines and the rest of maritime southeast asia. To be fair, the whole region's history is underappreciated and understudied indeed. Luckily, we're in the day and age where we can share information and disseminate them widely. Good Luck
@@StickyKeys187 yes i hope ppl to fight for disinformation and anti-science
But, but, human migration started from Africa. Either they found South East Asia first or they split into two ways, to China and to South East Asia.
Link to purchase the book?
Is there an audio version?
Jejak...
My highest respect to you Prof. Blust for dedicating your life to learn and educate the humankind about Austronesian history. Your dedication is admirable and deserves nothing but respect. Matur nuwun sanget! ('Thank you very much' in Javanese, the largest Austronesian language in terms of native speakers) and may you rest in peace.
I still don’t understand why taiwan considered as the origin point for Austronesian expansion
he already said in the video.
taiwan holds many austronesian languages that are so complex enough that their differences would only be able to be explained if there were there so long ago and had that much time to evolve to be that different from each other even tho they are near to each other on the same island. other lands where there are austronesian languages only show less complex differences from each other. the anthropological artifacts and geneological data also later was found to further reinforce its likelihood.
@@xXxSkyViperxXxindonesia has more language than taiwan indigonues, we have 700 more language.
@@citrowiyono8469 it is not about the number of languages. it is about how different they are to each other despite still being linguistically part of the same family. Taiwan has 9 main branches of the Austronesian family, while Indonesia only has 3 main branches
there are a lot of theory, I prefer the theory of out of yunan expansion, so yunan is my urheimat imo.

Out of Taiwan is an outdated model.
Well, considering the vast body of evidence that supports the out of Taiwan model, you would need to provide some pretty cogent evidence for dismissing it in favour of some other model...
@@ChristopherRayMiller give it a rest old man
You @@ChristopherRayMillersaying proof with no proof dog
Austronesian not from taiwan..but from south east asia..each of the tribe here have their own boats and thousand language..so we dont believe from taiwan..
Dont argue with xperts people. they spend years to study the origin of our ancestors.
You should show evidence instead of typing only.
You are challenging people who've studied and backed up the "out of Taiwan" theory with a plethora of documented evidence, and who are well educated experts in their fields. It doesn't matter what you believe, and you have literally ZERO evidence to prove otherwise. This is topic of academic discussion, not for venting your unfounded opinions.
1) Taiwan is exactly in South East Asia
2) we talk about science and evidence not what you believe
3) It’s not about the numbers of tribes and languages if you have basic information about linguistics there were few types of languages developed in earlier, also greater differences from each other we talk about the diversity of the origin of the Austronesian language group to find the birthplace
Are you have the accurate evidence? Can i have it?
This is very weak research, Taiwan during ancient times wasn't a significant island or known for any sources of goods... the land of gold was as recorded by the Spanish explorers who went there, please update your knowledge that even the Greeks and ancient Hebrews have known.
Lmao. How does the "source of goods" relate to the expansion of the Austronesian speaking peoples?
@@mountainrock7682his source: "trust me bro".
land don't need to be famous to be the homeland of a people. many people start out from humble origins, spreading to other lands, famous or not.
You can troll in the comment section, but calling it a weak research is pretty offensive and not fun at all. Know that.
Calling something a weak research needs a strong research. Where's yours?
