This series contains material from the south east coast of Bougainville Island, concentrating on the Nasioi language. It includes both typed and handwritten comparative vocabulary lists (Nasioi-English), typed and handwritten notes on Nasioi grammar, sentences translated from English into Nasioi, and a comparative table of kinship terms (Nasioi-English).
Bougainville is the largest of the Solomon Islands and a province of Papua New Guinea. Bougainville and the adjacent island of Buka are sometimes called the North Solomons, and are ecologically and geographically, although not politically, considered part of the Solomon Islands. Buka, Bougainville, and most of the Solomons are part of the Solomon Islands rain forests ecoregion.
