  • 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.

    EUFONI: Journal of Language, Literary, and Cultural Studies Vol. 4, No. 1 (2020) LANGUAGE SHIFT AND HERITAGE LANGUAGE MAINTENANCE AMONG INDONESIAN YOUNG GENERATIONS: A CASE STUDY OF PAMULANG UNIVERSITY STUDENTS Eka Margianti Sagimin Universitas Pamulang [email protected] Abstract This paper aims to analyze language shift and heritage language maintenance among Indonesian young generation, a case study of Pamulang University students. Based on that purpose, this study conducted some research in analyzing effort to maintain the heritage language, analyzing the strategy used in maintaining heritage language, and identifying factors contribute to language loss among students. The study used a descriptive qualitative research design approach involving an open-ended questionnaire consisted of open-ended questions. The result of this study revealed that even though they live on a small scale of their native community, yet, they can maintain their local language. Thus, it can not be denied that youth people tend to shift the language due to globalization and the embracing of technology. In conclusion, it can be inferred that most students of Unpam use their local language and Bahasa Indonesia at the same level. Many of them still use local language when communicating with their parents and family members around them as well as Bahasa Indonesia. Suek suggested a solution to this problem that the community should be related to the use of language and attitudes in which mostly happen in school and family. It is hoped when children get used to a local language, they will also become aware of how important the native language as showing their identity in their environment and nationality.
