February, 1997 11 ABSTRACT This thesis documents the process of language change which is taking place in Takengon, located in middle Aceh, region of Sumatra (Western Indonesia). A key historical event appears central as a cause of language change - contact with Malay (now Bahasa Indonesia) has exercised a. gteat deal of i¡fluence in this language. The strong influence of Bahasa Indonesia has reduced little by little the role of this language in the Gayo community, and the impact of development and modernisation of Indonesia can be felt in this community too. BesidesrArabic also plays an important role in this process, especially in the domain of Islamic ûeaching. The present research examines language usage. Observation and recording of language in a variety of settings provided evidence that change is occurring. The results indicate that many traditional lexical items have been replaced by the new items, the set of kin terms has undergone dramatic changes, the traditional basic values have shifæd to modem ones in many domainsJhere are also a number of changes at the grammatical level. The resultgof an investigation of the attitudes of different age-groups of speakers toward the Gayo suggest that feelings toward this language remain generally very positive. There are a number of signs of shift: proficiency in Bahasa Indonesia is increasing; younger people tend to speak Indonesia2which they regard as the prestigious language for modern people. However, few speakers of Gayo seem to be aware of the dangers of language loss. u1 TABLE OF CONTENTS Acknowledgement I Declaration u Abstract ut CHAPTER T 1.1. Introduction. 1 I.2.

Development in the Leuser region began in the late 1800s whenthe Dutch colonial regime implemented large-scale agriculture and conservation projects in the rural communities. These continued into the 1980s and 1990s as the New Order government continued the work of the colonial regime. The top-down model of development used by the state was heavily criticized, prompting a move towards community-based participatory development in the later 1990s. This thesis examines the most recent NGO-led development project, a micro- hydro electricity system, in the village of Aih Nuso to elucidate the following: 1) The social, economic, and political impacts of the project on the community.

Such questions have been largely based on Enggano’s lexicon, which shows little trace of an Austronesian heritage. In this paper, I examine a wider range of evidence and show that Enggano is clearly an Austronesian language of the Malayo-Polynesian (MP) subgroup. This is achieved through the establishment of regular sound correspondences between Enggano and Proto‒Malayo-Polynesian reconstructions in both the bound morphology and lexicon. I conclude by examining the possible relations of Enggano within MP and show that there is no good evidence of innovations shared between Enggano and any other MP language or subgroup. In the absence of such shared innovations, Enggano should be considered one of several primary branches of MP. 1. INTRODUCTION.1 Enggano is an Austronesian language spoken on the southernmost of the Barrier Islands off the west coast of the island of Sumatra in Indo- nesia; its location is marked by an arrow on map 1. The genetic position of Enggano has remained controversial and unresolved to this day. Two proposals regarding the genetic classification of Enggano have been made: 1.

  • The Transnational Politics of Aceh and East Timor in the Diaspora
    MAKING NOISE: THE TRANSNATIONAL POLITICS OF ACEH AND EAST TIMOR IN THE DIASPORA by KARLA S. FALLON A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Political Science) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) May 2009 © Karla S. Fallon, 2009 Abstract This dissertation analyzes the transnational politics of two new or incipient diasporas, the Acehnese and East Tirnorese. It examines their political roles and activities in and across several countries in the West (Europe, North America, and Australia) as well as their impact on the “homeland” or country of origin, during and after armed conflict. It suggests that the importance of diaspora participation in conflict and conflict settlement is not solely or even primarily dependent on the material resources of the diaspora. Instead it is the ideational and political resources that may determine a diaspora’s ability to ensure its impact on the homeland, on the conflict, and its participation in the conflict settlement process. This study adopts a constructivist approach, process-tracing methods, and an analytical framework that combines insights from diaspora politics and theories on transnational advocacy networks (TANs). It concludes that the Aceh and East Timor cases support the proposition that diasporas are important and dynamic political actors, even when they are small, new, and weak. These cases also support the proposition that the political identities and goals of diasporas can be transformed over time as a diaspora is replenished with new members who have new or different ideas, as factions within diasporas gain power vis-à-vis others, and/or as the political partners available to the diaspora in the hostland and internationally change or broaden.

Starting from the idea that the extinction of a language causes the loss of various forms of cultural heritage, especially the customary heritage and oral expressions of the speaking community. There are two main problems in this study, namely: (1) Identification of the regional language of indigenous Papuans in West Papua Province, and (2) Classification of regional languages of indigenous Papuans in West Papua Province. This study uses two approaches, namely (1) a theoretical approach and (2) a methodological approach. The theoretical approach is an exploration of the theory of language documentation, while the methodological approach is a descriptive approach with an explanative dimension. This study follows the procedures of (1) the data provision stage, (2) the data analysis stage, and (3) the data analysis presentation stage. The findings in this study illustrate that the languages in West Papua Province can be grouped into four language groups, namely (1) Austronesian phylum groups; (2) West Papua phylum group; (3) Papuan Bird Head phylum group; and (4) the Trans West Papua Phylum Group.

  • Kodrah Kristang: the Initiative to Revitalize the Kristang Language in Singapore
    Language Documentation & Conservation Special Publication No. 19 Documentation and Maintenance of Contact Languages from South Asia to East Asia ed. by Mário Pinharanda-Nunes & Hugo C. Cardoso, pp.35–121 http:/nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc/sp19 2 http://hdl.handle.net/10125/24906 Kodrah Kristang: The initiative to revitalize the Kristang language in Singapore Kevin Martens Wong National University of Singapore Abstract Kristang is the critically endangered heritage language of the Portuguese-Eurasian community in Singapore and the wider Malayan region, and is spoken by an estimated less than 100 fluent speakers in Singapore. In Singapore, especially, up to 2015, there was almost no known documentation of Kristang, and a declining awareness of its existence, even among the Portuguese-Eurasian community. However, efforts to revitalize Kristang in Singapore under the auspices of the community-based non-profit, multiracial and intergenerational Kodrah Kristang (‘Awaken, Kristang’) initiative since March 2016 appear to have successfully reinvigorated community and public interest in the language; more than 400 individuals, including heritage speakers, children and many people outside the Portuguese-Eurasian community, have joined ongoing free Kodrah Kristang classes, while another 1,400 participated in the inaugural Kristang Language Festival in May 2017, including Singapore’s Deputy Prime Minister and the Portuguese Ambassador to Singapore. Unique features of the initiative include the initiative and its associated Portuguese-Eurasian community being situated in the highly urbanized setting of Singapore, a relatively low reliance on financial support, visible, if cautious positive interest from the Singapore state, a multiracial orientation and set of aims that embrace and move beyond the language’s original community of mainly Portuguese-Eurasian speakers, and, by design, a multiracial youth-led core team.

  • A Policy Proposal for Heritage Language Conservation: a Case for Indonesia and Sarawak
    Issues in Language Studies (Vol. 6 No. 2 – 2017) A POLICY PROPOSAL FOR HERITAGE LANGUAGE CONSERVATION: A CASE FOR INDONESIA AND SARAWAK Bambang SUWARNO Universitas Bengkulu, Indonesia Jalan W. R. Supratman, Bengkulu 38371, Indonesia [email protected] Manuscript received 7 July 2017 Manuscript accepted 4 October 2017 ABSTRACT Heritage languages are declining in Indonesia and Sarawak. They need conservation due to their situations as endemic languages. Their decline could be attributed to the fact that they often do not possess significant roles in the public domains. As a result, their speakers see little rewards or prestige for maintaining them. In Indonesian and Malaysian constitutions there is a spirit for protecting heritage languages. However, their executions, through national laws, might not have provided adequate protection for the heritage languages. As heritage languages keep declining, a policy revision needs to be given consideration. A heritage language may better survive if it has some functions in the public domains. Thus, to conserve the heritage languages, there is a need for the revision of language policy, so that these languages may have roles in the public domains, with varying scope, depending on their size. Large regional languages may be given maximum roles in the public domains, while smaller regional languages may be given smaller roles. Language conservation areas could be developed, where heritage languages serve as co-official languages, besides the national language. These areas may range from a district to a province or a state. Keywords: language policy, language planning, heritage language, language conservation IntroDuction: Why Heritage Languages Must Be Conserved? Before starting the discussion, it is essential to define heritage language.

The authors can be contacted at : [email protected] [email protected] Indonesian Social Development Papers Since 1998, Indonesia has been undergoing a momentous political and economic transition. Political change has been radical: old authoritarian structures have been replaced-to differing extents and with mixed success-with democratic institutions; the decentralization process, with large swaths of policy making autonomy ceded to local governments, has changed power dynamics within the state and between local actors. At the same time, the Asian Financial Crisis forced economic changes including the redevelopment of the financial system, an altered macro-economic policy, and the development of a new social safety net. Together, these simultaneous transitions have had fundamental social impacts. Millions were swept into poverty with the Crisis, and many have not yet regained their previous standard of living. Forces of modernization and globalization have changed work patterns and sped population flows. Changes in incentives, and in the role of formal and informal institutions, have altered the ways in which individuals and groups relate to each other, and to the state. With power relations in flux, it is not surprising that recent years have seen both an increase in social conflict as well as “one step forward, another back” progress in terms of improving governance and reducing corruption.

  • Cognates Among the Karo, Alas and Gayo Languages
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 5, No. 12; December 2015 Cognates among the Karo, Alas and Gayo Languages Dardanila Department of Bahasa Indonesia Faculty of Cultural Sciences, University of Sumatera Utara Jl. dr. Mansoer No. 1 Medan-20155 (Indonesia) Robert Sibarani Dwi Widayati Post-Graduate Department of Linguistics Faculty of Cultural Sciences University of Sumatera Utara Jl. dr. Mansoer No. 1 Medan-20155 (Indonesia) Aron Meko Mbete Faculty of Cultural Sciences University of Udayana (Indonesia) Abstract This study is specifically concerned with description of cognates among the Karo, Alas, and Gayo languages and was conducted in three regencies: Karo, Alas and Gayo. The Karo is one of regencies in North Sumatera Province while the rest are part of Aceh; however, the three share the same borders. Data for this study were gathered among the native speakers. The comparative method is used here and the technique of lexicostatistics is also adopted. On the basis of the results of this research, it can be concluded that quantitatively there were close relations of kinship attributed to the cognate percentages by 73% between the Karo and Alas, by 43.5% between the Karo and Gayo, and by 52.5% between Alas and Gayo. The split time between Karo and Alas was predicted to be around 0,729 thousands of years ago. This means that Alas became a single language at around 0,729 thousands of years ago. The split time between Karo and Gayo was thought to be 1,926 thousands of years ago, meaning that Gayo became an independent language at about 1,926 thousands of years ago.

  • Speakers' Attitudes Towards Acehnese Different
    ISSN: 2527-8037 Proceedings of the First Reciprocal Graduate Research Symposium between University Pendidikan Sultan Idris and Syiah Kuala University, February 26-28, 2016, Tanjong Malim, Perak, Malaysia SPEAKERS’ ATTITUDES TOWARDS ACEHNESE DIFFERENT DIALECTS Zulfadli Syiah Kuala University, Banda Aceh, Indonesia [email protected] Abstract The Acehnese language is devided mainly into four different dialects: North Acehnese, Pidie dialect, Greater Acehnese, and West Acehnese. This study aims at investigating the attitudes of speakers of Acehnese towards the dialect differences of the language. The data were obtained through semi-structured interview method. The results of the study showed that mostly the Acehnese speakers regard North Acehnese as ‘good’ and ‘standard’, ‘refined,’ and polite. Meanwhile, they perceived the West Acehnese as a stigmatised dialect (e.g. kasar ‘rough’, impolite, and inferior), and therefore they also judge its speakers negatively, stereotyping them as ‘crude’. Keywords: language attitudes, Acehnese dialect differences, stigmatized dialect. INTRODUCTION Acehnese is the most widely spoken language in the Province of Aceh, in addition to other indigenous languages such as Gayonese, Aneuk Jamee, Alas, Kluet, etc. The majority of Acehnese speakers live in coastal areas in the Province, but they have also spread along the outer southern, western, and northern coastal fringes of Aceh. The number of Acehnese speakers is approximately 2.4 million (Arka, 2008, p. 67). Apart from within the Province of Aceh, Acehnese is also spoken by those of Acehnese descent who have lived in Kampung Aceh (Village of Aceh) in Yan district in Kedah, Malaysia (Yusuf, Pillai & Ali, 2012, p. 1). Acehnese consists of several dialects.
