Campbell-Favorlang

This corpus contains the Favorlang material in William Campbell's 1896 edition of The Articles of Christian Instruction in Favorlang-Formosan. It has 1,049 Favorlang (bzg) sentences and 365 English translations. The five sermons contribute 684 sentences after Madeline Boese's completed review merged two OCR boundary errors and excluded the printed author signature. Favorlang (Babuza) is a distinct language from Siraya; the corpus is tagged bzg with dialect="Favorlang", matching the treatment in Latham 1862. Because FormosanBank currently designates no standard orthography for Babuza-Favorlang, the source spelling is preserved without a standard or PHON tier. The corpus and publication metadata were revalidated on 22 August 2026 against the current FormosanBank tooling and completed sermon-review evidence.
