日治時期研究臺灣原住民族語言的淺井惠倫留下了許多照片資料與 田野筆記，當中包含與埔里平埔族語言相關的重要資料。本論文以淺井 在埔里大肚城所發現拍攝到的《大肚水裡猫霧捒社番曲》手抄本為出發 點，來探討番曲傳承者哪個民族？事實上，《猫霧捒社番曲》還存有其 他手抄本，1952年宋文薰・劉枝萬曾針對其內容進行分析發表。因為日 本時代的語言學者・文化人類學認為猫霧捒社是Babuza族的村落，所以 長久以來番曲被認為所屬於Babuza族。但近年簡史朗重新探討番曲內容 後指出，當中所使用的語言為Papora語，同時他也對大肚城民族分類方 式提出質疑。本論文將站在簡史朗的觀點上，並以日本時代的戶籍資料 與淺井田野筆記、土田滋所發現的《猫霧捒社五社番曲》手抄本等作為 探討比較的題材，來從別的觀點重新探討當時在大肚城中的番曲傳承者 為何人之後，再探討日本時代關於Babuza族、Papora族的民族語言分類 的模糊觀點，如何導致今日錯誤的民族分類之過程。

Asai Erin was a linguist who had studied languages of the indigenous peoples of Taiwan during the Japanese Occupation. He left a large amount of photographs and field notes which he recorded through his field research in Taiwan. Among these materials we can find precious data about the extinct languages of Peipo people in Puli basin. In this paper author investigate the manuscript of “Aboriginal Songs of Doatu Tsuili Babusa Villages” discovered and photographed by Asai in Doatu(=Datu-cheng) Village of Puli , and inquire about which ethnic group handed down this festival song. Another manuscript of “Aboriginal Song of Babuza” was discovered and analyzed by Song Wen-shun and Liu Chi-wan in 1952. According to the studies of the Japanese linguists and cultural anthropologists, the Babuza Village wad thought to be a village of the Babuza People. So “the Aboriginal song of Babuza” has been recognized as a Festival song of Babuza People. However, recent research by Chien Shi-lan made it clear that the Aboriginal Song manuscript is written in Papora, not in Babuza. He questioned the ethnic classification of the people of Datu-cheng Village. Author based on Chien’s opinion, try to look at the matter from the different angle. Investigating Asai’ s field records with the family resisters during the Japanese occupation and considering another manuscript discovered by Tsuchida Sigeru, author discuss about who were the bearer of the aboriginal song in Datu-cheng. Author also indicate that the ambiguous remarks of the linguistic and anthropological classification related to the Papora and Babuza during the Japanese occupation caused to make up the misunderstanding of the current ethnic classification.
