LANGUAGE and STATE POWER CSUF Linguistics Colloquium the INEVITABLE RISE of MALAY October 30, 2020 the RISE of MALAY
Franz Mueller LANGUAGE AND STATE POWER CSUF Linguistics Colloquium THE INEVITABLE RISE OF MALAY October 30, 2020 THE RISE OF MALAY Historically, Malay began as the indigenous language of the eastern peat forest areas on the island of Sumatra. Today, Malay has grown into one of the largest languages in the world, with over 250 million users. Remarkable because Malay never was the largest language in the area (Javanese, Sundanese) nor was it centrally located. Inevitable because whenever it counted, there was no alternative. LANGUAGE SIZE: FACTORS Endangered languages: Factors that lead to endangerment (Brenzinger 1991) Discussion of factors that make a language large have focused on individual speaker choice Today’s point: Languages grow large primarily as a result of them being adopted & promoted by a powerful state Speaker take-up is an epiphenomenon of that.

Language Use and Attitudes As Indicators of Subjective Vitality: the Iban of Sarawak, Malaysia
Vol. 15 (2021), pp. 190–218 http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc http://hdl.handle.net/10125/24973 Revised Version Received: 1 Dec 2020 Language use and attitudes as indicators of subjective vitality: The Iban of Sarawak, Malaysia Su-Hie Ting Universiti Malaysia Sarawak Andyson Tinggang Universiti Malaysia Sarawak Lilly Metom Universiti Teknologi of MARA The study examined the subjective ethnolinguistic vitality of an Iban community in Sarawak, Malaysia based on their language use and attitudes. A survey of 200 respondents in the Song district was conducted. To determine the objective eth- nolinguistic vitality, a structural analysis was performed on their sociolinguistic backgrounds. The results show the Iban language dominates in family, friend- ship, transactions, religious, employment, and education domains. The language use patterns show functional differentiation into the Iban language as the “low language” and Malay as the “high language”. The respondents have positive at- titudes towards the Iban language. The dimensions of language attitudes that are strongly positive are use of the Iban language, Iban identity, and intergenera- tional transmission of the Iban language. The marginally positive dimensions are instrumental use of the Iban language, social status of Iban speakers, and prestige value of the Iban language. Inferential statistical tests show that language atti- tudes are influenced by education level. However, language attitudes and useof the Iban language are not significantly correlated. By viewing language use and attitudes from the perspective of ethnolinguistic vitality, this study has revealed that a numerically dominant group assumed to be safe from language shift has only medium vitality, based on both objective and subjective evaluation. -

Jamalie, Reviewing Religious Classic Manuscript PJAEE, 17 (2) (2020) REVIEWING RELIGIOUS CLASSIC MANUSCRIPT FROM INDONESIAN SOUTH BORNEO PERSPECTIVE Zulfa Jamalie Universitas Islam Negeri Antasari, Jl. A. Yani Km. 4,5 Banjarmsin, South Kalimantan 70235, Indonesia. [email protected] Zulfa Jamalie. Reviewing Religious Classic Manuscript from Indonesian South Borneo Perspective. – Palarch’s Journal of Archaralogy of Egypt/Egyptogy 17(2), 90-97. ISSN 1567-214X Keywords: Manuscripts, Islamic scholars, Nur Muhammad contribution, Sheikh Ahmad Syamsuddin al- Banjari. ABSTRACT This paper reviews a highly valued, original, classic religious reading text, written by Islamic scholars in Indonesia, South Borneo. The existence of the manuscript reflects the intellectual capacity of Indonesian Islamic scholars in the past and also the tradition of knowledge transmission. The religious written work has been a significant material to be examined, in order to study the history, influence, and contributions to the present Islamic knowledge. One of the manuscripts is Nur Muhammad’s Story, the classic one written by a Banjarese Islamic scholar named Sheikh Ahmad Syamsuddin al-Banjari (1618-1680). This manuscript described scientifically the ways of thinking and the development of Islamic studies in South Borneo (Banjarmasin). Besides Aceh, Palembang and Banten, Banjarmasin is also an important point of reference where the birth of religious works took place in the 17th, 18th, and 19th Centuries, respectively. Banjamasin has since then become an important reference for understanding the development of Islamic studies in Indonesia. Unfortunately, limited data, contrived codification efforts, and small number of studies related to religious readings in this region have resulted in the poor spread of publications on this important information. -

Chopsticks as a Typical Dayak Borneo Weapon Hamid Darmadi {[email protected]} IKIP PGRI Pontianak Abstract: The ancestors of the Dayak tribe who live amid dense forests and inhabited by various wild animals, inspire and motivate the Dayak tribe to make reliable weapons that are not only able to protect themselves from the fierce forest life, but also able to sustain the existence of the Dayak tribe as a whole . The ferocious wilderness of Borneo island has tapered the determination and enthusiasm "Dayak ancestors make" Typical "weapons called" chopsticks. "Chopsticks are made of iron wood (ironwood). Chopsticks have a length of 1.5 to 2cm. The best size for a chopstick Chopsticks consist of three main parts, namely: Chopsticks, chopsticks (damak) and chopsticks (spear made of selected iron tied to the end of the chopsticks).

SERCOMBE Ethno-Linguistic Change among the Penan of Brunei Some Initial Observations* Introduction Negara Brunei Darussalam (henceforth Brunei) is a small multi-ethnic, multilingual country. The official language is Brunei Malay, and three other dialects of Malay are spoken as well as seven non-Malay isolects (Nothofer 1991:151); among this latter group Iban, Mukah and Penan are considered immigrant to Brunei. The Penan language spoken in Brunei is of the eastern variety1, used by those Penan who occur to the east of the Baram River in Sarawak and within the Kenyah subgroup (Blust 1972:13). Aim This paper aims to examine some non-Penan lexical and discourse features that have been noted in current language use in the Penan language of Brunei (henceforth Sukang Penan), and to compare these with a similar situation in Long Buang Penan in neighbouring Sarawak.2 The main concern here is to show the discrepancy between the position of discrete lexical items and the use of lexis in spontaneous discourse in Sukang. To my knowledge (and Langub's, personal communication) there presently exist no in-depth studies relating to the Penan language varieties of Borneo. To date there have been a number of wordlists published, most * I wish to thank Kelly Donovan for producing the maps and both Peter Martin and Rodney Needham for their valuable comments on earlier drafts of this article. -

Inspeksi PAM, Manggala, Makassar, South Sulawei, 90234 Email: [email protected] Edi Gunawan Faculty of Sharia, Institut Agama Islam Negeri Manado, North Sulawesi, Indonesia, Jl. Dr. S.H. Sarundajang Kawasan Ring Road I Manado, 95128 Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The study on the graduality principle (tadarruj) of Islamic law in the context of Islamic law legislation in Indonesia has broad issues. The process of Islamization in the archipelago has been taking place gradually, since the advent of Islam in the 7th century AD or the first century of the emergence of Islam in Arab. The legislation efforts of Islamic law in the context of the legal system of a country always raises two sides, they are universal and the particular. Universality and particularity of the Islamic law are motivated by two dimensions, the dimensions of divinity (ilāhiyyah) and the human dimension (insāniyyah). This paper is a qualitative research that focuses on discussing regarding the implementation of Islamic law at the early spread of Islam in the Indonesian archipelago, with the historically normative approach. The conclusion is the graduality principle has been applied in the legislative process in the Islamic law in Indonesia, but it has no formal legal basis in the form of laws regulating the formation of a national law, although it has been implemented in the legislation process of Islamic law. -
A Phylogenetic Approach to Comparative Linguistics: a Test Study Using the Languages of Borneo
Hirzi Luqman 1st September 2010 A Phylogenetic Approach to Comparative Linguistics: a Test Study using the Languages of Borneo Abstract The conceptual parallels between linguistic and biological evolution are striking; languages, like genes are subject to mutation, replication, inheritance and selection. In this study, we explore the possibility of applying phylogenetic techniques established in biology to linguistic data. Three common phylogenetic reconstruction methods are tested: (1) distance-based network reconstruction, (2) maximum parsimony and (3) Bayesian inference. We use network analysis as a preliminary test to inspect degree of horizontal transmission prior to the use of the other methods. We test each method for applicability and accuracy, and compare their results with those from traditional classification. We find that the maximum parsimony and Bayesian inference methods are both very powerful and accurate in their phylogeny reconstruction. The maximum parsimony method recovered 8 out of a possible 13 clades identically, while the Bayesian inference recovered 7 out of 13. This match improved when we considered only fully resolved clades for the traditional classification, with maximum parsimony scoring 8 out of 9 possible matches, and Bayesian 7 out of 9 matches. Introduction different dialects and languages. And just as phylogenetic inference may be muddied by horizontal transmission, so “The formation of different languages and of distinct too may borrowing and imposition cloud true linguistic species, and the proofs that both have been developed relations. These fundamental similarities in biological and through a gradual process, are curiously parallel... We find language evolution are obvious, but do they imply that tools in distinct languages striking homologies due to community and methods developed in one field are truly transferable to of descent, and analogies due to a similar process of the other? Or are they merely clever and coincidental formation..
