  • A Study of the Role of the Malay Language and the Influence of Extra-Linguistic Factors in Language Usage in Sri Lanka
    A Study of the Role of the Malay Language and the Influence of Extra-Linguistic Factors in Language Usage in Sri Lanka Abstract The Sri Lankan Malay language (SLM) has undergone numerous changes in its lexicon and syntax as a result of prolonged contact with the two dominant languages of the country, Sinhala and Tamil as well as English. Therefore it has evolved into a distinct language from the Malay used in the South East Asiatic countries like Malaysia and Indonesia. Along with such linguistic changes SLM has also experienced socio-linguistic changes in terms of its use, role and functions. Since the users of SLM belong to a minority ethnic group in Sri Lanka all of them are bi- or multi-lingual. Numerous language combinations can be traced among the Sri Lankan Malays and this result in complex code switching and mixing which take place among the speakers as well as the dynamic decisions of language choice they make. These language choices and the role and function of SLM are influenced by factors such as local and national ideologies, social and economic class, education, employment, environment, religious fervor and personal beliefs. It is therefore worthwhile to study to what extent extra-linguistic factors influence the language choice(s) of Sri Lankan Malays and how the same factors influence the use of SLM in particular. This study is an attempt to understand this situation and determine how conscious the speech community is about these choices and the changes that occur in the language. The study was conducted through questionnaires and interviews of several families from different socio-economic classes and different geographic locations.

  • The Khmer Empire and the Malay Peninsula
    THE KHMER EMPIRE AND THE MALAY PENINSULA LAWRENCE PALMER BRIGGS* Washington, D. C. THE FUNAN PERIOD, CA. 150- CA. 550 A. The peninsula before the conquests by Funan. The first known con­ tact of the Khmer Empire or any of its antecedents with what is now called the Malay Peninsula1 occurred when Fan Shih-man of Funan conquered a considerable portion of that peninsula early in the third century; although it is believed, from the terms in which the account of his voyage are ex­ pressed, that Hun-t'ien, or Hun-shen (Kaundinya), who conquered the native queen, Liu-yeh (Willow Leaf), and founded the kingdom of Funan about the middle of the first century, came from an Indian settlement on the eastern side of that peninsula.2 The earliest known inhabitants of the peninsula were pigmy negritos, represented today by the Semangs of the forests of the northern part of the bulb forming the southern part of the peninsula, and a Veddoid people, called Proto-Australoid by some anthropologists, of whom the Sakai of the central part of the southern bulb are representative.3 A people speaking a pre-Mon-Khmer Austro-Asiatic language seem to have occupied the mainland adjacent to the peninsula and, probably under pressure from the Mon-Khmers, flooded the peninsula, imposing their language on the Sakai.4 The Mons occupied the Tenasserim region but apparently never extended to the Isthmus of Kra.5 • Mr. Briggs is a specialist on the lndochinese Peninsula, especially Cambodia. He has published numerous articles in the Quarterly, Journal of the American Oriental Society, T'oung pao, and other scholarly journals.

  • The Kingdom of Jaffna - Propaganda? Or History?
    The Kingdom of Jaffna - Propaganda? Or History? The history of Sri Lanka during the period of about three and a half centuries between the abandonment of Polonnaruva and the Portuguese conquest of the maritime provinces comprising chiefly the territories incorporated within the kingdoms of Kotte and }affna presents features which are in many ways different from those of the preceding periods. Although this period of the island's history has suffered relatively by neglect and has been represented as one of decline generally by historians influenced by Classical romanticist thinking it has a greater relevance for the understanding of the institutions and problems of modern and even contemporary Sri Lankan history. In his' critical review' of the The Kingdom of lafIna, Gunasinghe in effect accuses the author of having written it, like earlier Tamil scholars, with sectarian and propagandist motives, his aim being the proving of an extensive Tamil or South Indian influence on the history of the island from early times. In other words, his charge is that the author has sought to present an Indo-centric or rather Dravido-centric view of the history of Sri Lanka. "The underlying theme of this book... is basically the propagandist idea of proving a predominantly Dravidian influence on the North and East of the Island from early times." " The propagandist theme of this book." " ••• an obsessive desire to prove an extensive Dravidian influence in the Island from early times." ,•.• , a desire to show an exaggerated picture of the expansion of South Indian and Tamil influence in Sri Lanka from early times."

  • The Genesis of the Muslim Community in • Ceylon (Sri Lanka): a Historical Summary
    THE GENESIS OF THE MUSLIM COMMUNITY IN • CEYLON (SRI LANKA): A HISTORICAL SUMMARY AMBER ALI Research on the historical ongms of the Ceylon Muslim com­ munity is yet an unchartered field in the overall history of the island. Ramanathan's "The Ethnology of the Moors of Ceylon,"1 I. L. M. Abdul Azeez's criticism on Ramanathan's thesis,2 Siddi Lebbe's wrih ings on the subject in his Muslim Necan3 and Cassim's llankaic CO:.. nako.J' Carittiram,4 based almost entirely on Siddi Lebbe's works, are all, considering the context and spirit in which they were written (as shown below), open to the charge of historical bias and partisan­ ship. Van Sanden's Sonahars is a comprehensive but an uncritical presentation of all hearsay evidence and is overtly apologetic of the British colonial rule over the Muslims. Goonewardena's "Some Notes On The History of the Muslims In Ceylon Before the British Occupa­ tion"6 and de Silva's "Portuguese Policy Towards Muslims"7 are the only scholarly works available on the period before 1800, but they too have their shortcomings. The former, as the title itself suggests, is only a peripheral treatment limited by the author's inaccessibility to Arabic, Portuguese and Tamil sources; while the latter, constrained by the scope of the article, does not throw any light on the origins of the community. Besides these, several articles have appeared from time to time authored by a variety of writers ranging from Muslim activists to University lecturers. The only common feature in all these articles is that they try to trace the historical origins of the Ceylon Muslims as far back as possible and thereby they forget to 1 P.

  • Radiocarbon Age Dating of 1000-Year-Old Pearls From
    Feature Article Radiocarbon Age Dating of 1,000-Year-Old Pearls from the Cirebon Shipwreck (Java, Indonesia) Michael S. Krzemnicki, Laurent E. Cartier and Irka Hajdas The 10th-century Cirebon shipwreck was discovered in 2003 in Indone- sian waters. The excavation yielded an incredible array of archaeological finds, which included pearls and jewellery. Radiocarbon dating of the pearls agrees with the age of the shipwreck, which previously was inferred using recovered coins and ceramics. As such, these are some of the oldest pearls ever to be discovered. Based on this example, the present article shows how radiocarbon age dating can be adapted to the testing of historic pearls. The authors have further developed their sampling method so that radiocarbon age dating can be considered quasi-non-destructive, which is particularly important for future studies on pearls (and other biogenic gem materials) of significance to archaeology and cultural heritage.

  • Adstrate Influence in Sri Lanka Malay: Definiteness, Animacy and Number in Accusative Case Marking
    Journal of Language Contact 5 (2012) 5–22 brill.nl/jlc Adstrate Influence in Sri Lanka Malay: Definiteness, Animacy and Number in Accusative Case Marking Ian R. Smith Department of Languages, Literatures and Linguistics York University [email protected] Abstract Sri Lanka Malay is a creole-like language spoken by the descendents of soldiers, exiles and slaves brought to Sri Lanka by the Dutch from Java and their possessions in the Indonesian archipelago in the 17th and 18th centuries and by recruits brought by the British from the Malayan Peninsula and elsewhere in the 19th century. Various authors have noted the influence of indigenous lan- guages on the structure of Sri Lanka Malay but disagreement has arisen over the source and mechanism. An examination of the interaction of definiteness, number, animacy and the accusa- tive case in Sinhala, Tamil, and Sri Lanka Malay nominal inflection shows that Sri Lanka Malay aligns more closely here with Tamil than with Sinhala. The pattern of accusative case marking, in particular, can be attributed to Tamil influence. Moreover, the ubiquity of accusative case marking in Sri Lanka Malay together with its obscure origin and the absence of recent cataclys- mic social events to trigger rapid linguistic change indicate that this alignment is of long stand- ing, rather than a recent development. Keywords creoles; language contact; minority languages; South Asia; Malay; Sinhalese; Sprachbund; Tamil 1. Introduction1 The Dutch seized control of Sri Lanka (then Ceylon) from the Portuguese in a series of operations between 1638 and 1658. During the 140-odd years of Dutch rule, annual contingents of troops from Java and other Dutch posses- sions in the Indonesian archipelago were brought to Sri Lanka.

McGilvray In the context of Sri Lanka’s inter-ethnic conflict between the Tamils and the Sinhalese, the Tamil- speaking Muslims or Moors occupy a unique position. Unlike the historically insurrectionist M&amacr;ppilas of Kerala or the assimilationist Marakk&amacr;yars of coastal Tamilnadu, the Sri Lankan Muslim urban elite has fostered an Arab Islamic identity in the 20th century which has severed them from the Dravidian separatist campaign of the Hindu and Christian Tamils. This has placed the Muslim farmers in the Tamil-speaking north-eastern region in an awkward and dangeruus situation, because they would be geographically central to any future Tamil homeland.

    REVIEW ARTICLES BACKGROUND TO THE SRI VIJAYA STORY-PART IV, Senarat Paranavitana, Ceylon and Malaysia, (Lake House, 1966), and other sources of interlinear writing (see list in section 21) 16. VIJAYABAHU I, PARAKRAMABAHU I AND NISSAMKAMALLA This part, in fifty pages, deals with the history of Ceylon from the Accession of Vijayabahu the Great in 1073 to the coming of the Portuguese in 1505, a period of over four centuries. Nobody can accuse me of not bringing down the cost of 1i ving. But the aim is not to tell the history of Ceylon as such, but to give that history within the pattern of a history of Sri Vijaya. The story is based on the accepted sources with the addition of two Ceylonese inscriptions recently published; while Parana­ vitana's sources of interlinear writing will only be used sparingly as connecting links in the overall story. The two 'new inscriptions' are the Panusvasnuvara Pillar Inscription of the 9th century where the topo­ nym Yavaju-Kalingubimhi appears; and the Madirigiri Slab Inscription of the 11th century with the name Samara Vijayottunga. These inscriptions comprise two of four irrefutable pieces of evidence, three of which have already been mentioned in the third part of this paper, while the fourth will be submitted in Section 17 below. With all this new evidence. the story of this four hundred years' period produced by historians of Sri Lanka must be looked at again from an entirely new angle. Irrespective of whether the Kalinga in the story was in Orissa­ India, as the Simhalese historians have thought, or it was in Southeast Asia, as the evidence now shows, it seems curious that these historians have never asked themselves the reasons why the Kalinga princes who became kings of Ceylon, such as Nissamkamalla and Magba, ever inva­ ded the island in the first place.
