About: Kaluli people

An Entity of Type: ethnic group, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Kaluli are a clan of illiterate indigenous peoples who live in the rain forests of the Great Papuan Plateau in Papua New Guinea. The Kaluli, who numbered approximately 2,000 people in 1987, are the most numerous and well documented by post-contact ethnographers and missionaries among the four language-clans of Bosavi kalu ("men or people of Bosavi") that speak non-Austronesian languages. Their numbers are thought to have declined precipitously following post-contact disease epidemics in the 1940s, and have not rebounded due to high infant mortality rates and periodic influenza outbreaks. The Kaluli are mostly monolingual in an ergative language.

  • Les Kaluli forment un groupe autochtone des forêts tropicales du Grand plateau de Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée. Au nombre d'environ 2 000 personnes en 1987, leur langue ergative est la plus connue du groupe bosavi grâce à la documentation des ethnographes et des missionnaires. Leur nombre s'est effondré dans les années 1940 à cause d'épidémies consécutives au contact avec les populations extérieures. La forte mortalité infantile et des vagues périodiques de grippe ont empêché le rattrapage démographique. (fr)
