Abstract

This paper introduces CHAMUÇA, a novel lexical resource designed to document the influence of the Portuguese language on various Asian languages, initially focusing on South Asian languages. Through the utilisation of linked open data and the OntoLex vocabulary, CHAMUÇA provides structured insights into the linguistic characteristics and cultural ramifications of Portuguese borrowings across multiple languages. The article outlines CHAMUÇA’s potential contributions to the linguistic linked data community, emphasising its role in addressing the scarcity of resources for lesser-resourced languages and serving as a test case for organising etymological data in a queryable format. CHAMUÇA emerges as an initiative towards the comprehensive catalogisation and analysis of Portuguese borrowings, offering valuable insights into language contact dynamics, historical evolution, and cultural exchange in Asia, one that is based on linked data technology.
