Challanges: This edition of WikiTutur is a continuation of the first edition, which has been met with enthusiastic responses. Through record-a-thons using Lingua Libre and edit-a-thons in Indonesian Wiktionary, the first edition has collected lexicographic materials from a total of 59 distinctly named lects (regardless of dialect/language status), or 39 languages by ISO 639-3 codes. However, out of these languages, only 6 languages have more than 1,000 audio files, with even fewer unique lexical items. Most contributions from the first edition were limited to basic vocabularies, with little-to-no complex and derivational forms.
As with the previous edition, Indonesian Wiktionary is chosen as the primary Wikimedia project to contribute in this program because it has the potential to reach the most audience, and bridge the communication gap between speakers of different indigenous languages of Indonesia. Currently, most lexical entries from these languages in Indonesian Wiktionary only consist of simple one-word glosses with occasional audio examples, much of which were from the previous edition of WikiTutur. The usability of these entries are limited, as they rarely provide cross-reference to derived lexical items, synonyms, and spelling variants.
Goals: With this second edition, we are hoping to expand audio and textual lexicographic materials in these languages, not only in terms of breadth but also the depth. For this initial phase, we are planning to focus on the languages of Western Indonesia (Greater Sunda Islands). We will collect data from languages in the area, increasing the number of their Lingua Libre audio recordings and improving the quality of their entries in Indonesian Wiktionary. We will add more details in the definitions for each entry, especially those with multiple senses of meaning. We will organize entries around root words by interlinking synonyms and spelling variants, as well as derived words and phrases to improve their usability. Lastly, we will also record audio for example sentences to inform the users on the words’ variations in pronunciations (including suprasegmental elements such as intonations) in different contexts.
Approaches: There are two main approaches that we employ to solve these challenges and achieve the changes we hoped for, which are 1) collaboration and 2) community development.
- Collaboration
For this edition, we seek collaboration with Wikimedia Indonesia to engage with local governmental agencies, educational institutions, and communities of native speakers for their expertise and resources. Through these engagements, we are also hoping to attract a diverse array of participants to contribute media content in Wikimedia Commons (through Lingua Libre), textual content in Indonesian Wiktionary, or both. By involving these groups, we hope to achieve a comprehensive coverage of lexicographic data in the targeted languages.
- Community development
We will engage with local communities to raise awareness about the ways that Wikimedia projects can be utilized in efforts for language documentation. We will conduct workshops for participants in order to train them both in recording with Lingua Libre and contributing to Wiktionary. We hope that these educational initiatives will empower community members to take an active role in improving the digital presence of their languages. In addition, by building strong relationships with these communities, we can encourage their active participation and support for language documentation and the Wikimedia movement.
- 7. What are the planned activities? (required) Please provide a list of main activities. You can also add a link to the public page for your project where details about your project can be found. Alternatively, you can upload a timeline document. When the activities include partnerships, include details about your partners and planned partnerships.
Two main activities are planned:
- Lokakarya (workshops)
- Lokakarya or workshops are face-to-face events conducted with direct participation from the local groups and native speaker communities across different regions. The events are divided into three sessions, which are 1) introduction to Lingua Libre and Wiktionary and how they can be used to support language documentation, 2) structured record-a-thon with premade lists of lexical items in the target language(s), and 3) structured edit-a-thon in the Indonesian Wiktionary to improve the entries by inputting the audio files, main senses of meaning, and other lexicographic information.
- Kopdar (meet-ups & edit-a-thons)
- Kopdar are regular meet-up events in between the Lokakarya, during which the participants from Wikimedia Jakarta will tidy up the entries in Indonesian Wiktionary by interlinking synonyms and spelling variants, cross-referencing the derived and complex forms, as well as inputting more audio files, among others.
These activities will include collaboration and engagement with local agencies, institutions and communities, the full list of which can be found in the answer Quetion 9. The complete timeline of planned activities throughout the program is attached here.
- 8. Describe your team. Please provide their roles, Wikimedia Usernames and other details. (required) Include more details of the team, including their roles, usernames, Wikimedia group, and whether they are salaried, volunteers, consultants/contractors, etc. Team members involved in the grant application need to be aware of their involvement in the project.
The team for this program consists of 16 people, with 3 staff and 13 non-staff members. Staff (3 people)

- 9. Who are the target participants and from which community? How will you engage participants before and during the activities? How will you follow up with participants after the activities? (required)
As mentioned above, this program will be done in collaboration with Wikimedia Indonesia to reach out and engage with local governmental agencies, educational institutions, and communities of native speakers. These include:
- Balai Bahasa Sumatera Barat (West Sumatra Language Agency), a regional governmental agency responsible for the management, development, and cultivation of indigenous languages in the province of West Sumatra, based in Padang, the provincial seat of government.
- Balai Bahasa Sumatera Utara (North Sumatra Language Agency), a regional governmental agency responsible for the management, development, and cultivation of indigenous languages in the province of North Sumatra, based in Medan, the provincial seat of government.
- Institut Dayakologi, a private institution focusing on research, development, and advocacy of the indigenous Dayak peoples of Kalimantan, based in Pontianak, West Kalimantan.
- Wikimedia Banjar, a local community focusing on Wikimedia projects and Wikimedia-related programs in Banjar language, based in Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan.
- Wikimedia Bandar Lampung, a local community focusing on Wikimedia projects and Wikimedia-related programs in Bandar Lampung metropolitan area, Lampung.
- Wikimedia Medan, a local community focusing on Wikimedia projects and Wikimedia-related programs in Medan metropolitan area.
- Wikimedia Padang, a local community focusing on Wikimedia projects and Wikimedia-related programs in Padang metropolitan area.
- Wikimedia Pontianak, a local community focusing on Wikimedia projects and Wikimedia-related programs in Pontianak metropolitan area.
- KlubWiki Universitas Brawijaya, a student club focusing on Wikimedia projects managed by local Wikimedians in Brawijaya University, based in Malang, East Java.
- Non-group local Wikimedians, especially those based in the city of Bengkulu, Bengkulu.
By reaching out and engaging with these groups, we are hoping to involve diverse groups of participants, ranging from linguists and lexicographers from the regional language agencies, university students, active Wikimedians, and other native speakers from the local communities.
Engagement with the participants began by promoting information related to the programs to interested parties and providing them with registration forms. After reaching out to potential participants, they will be filtered based on their native language proficiency in the target languages (across different age groups and gender), and digital competency (for younger speakers specifically). The participants will need to consent to provide materials with irrevocable Creative Commons licenses; they may withdraw any time prior to the events if they wish. Then, the participants will be invited into online chat groups for further communication. Prior to workshop events, the team will work with the participants before workshop events in order to prepare lists for record-a-thons as well as other lexicographic information. Follow-ups in the form of surveys and other information related to the program will also be relayed through the chat groups.
