Reduplication

Hello all,

I'm looking for languages that reduplicate base forms to create diminutives.

An example from Bamyili Creole:
 
bragbrag	'froggy'          pəpəp  	'puppy'
daŋgidaŋgi	'donkey'	  daldal	'dollie'

Can anyone else help add to this list? It is important that the reduplication process carries no grammatical information. Also, I must point out that I am not looking for partial base reduplication. It must be the entire base. 

Thanks,
