Abstract

Enggano Island is located at the southernmost of the Barrier Islands, after Simeulue, Nias and Mentawai, off Sumatra’s west coast. Rising up from the deep seabed of the Indian Ocean, Enggano is often described as an isolated island. Literature on the inhabitants, known as the Engganese, are scarce or else limited to travel account and stories about their traditional culture that are no longer practiced. Studies on Enggano, especially in anthropology, archaeology, and linguistics, attempted to group Engganese language and culture with Nias and Mentawai given the close geographical location and degree of similarities. The Engganese position within the Austronesian world remains unclear, particularly in relation to societies in Sumatra which are classified as members of the Austronesian language family. In addition, the Enggano language has been identified as an aberrant from other Austronesian languages whilst their cultural traits such as matrilineal kinship system and foraging way of life are assumed to be related to the initial contact between pre-Austronesian and early Austronesian speakers in the western part of insular Southeast Asia after Austronesian dispersals occurred. This paper aims to re-examine previous studies on Enggano in order to explore new hypotheses and future research possibilities regarding the origins of the Engganese.
