Dear colleague,
I am transcribing and translating folkstories or epic songs from the  
Sama-Bajo language (dialect of South Celebes, Kangean and Flores).  
Although the Sama-Bajo and the Orang Laut/Sekah languages seem  
unrelated, they all are "sea people" and I wonder if some characters  
or episodes might be similar in their folkstories. If you think that a  
data comparison might be relevant, you can contact me at
