Lani is a group of people or tribe living in the mountains of Jayawijaya Papua, and they speak Lani language as their local language. The language used for formal purposes in Papua is Indonesian. However, many Lani people cannot speak Indonesian correctly. This study examined the phonological interference of Lani language on the spoken Indonesian of Lani native speakers in Malang. This research used descriptive qualitative with content analysis. The respondents were five native speakers of Lani living in Malang for less than a year. The 200 Swadesh wordlist (1971) was used to collect data of spoken Indonesian from the Lani native speakers to show the phonological interference of Lani on Indonesian. This research revealed two important findings: (1) the pronunciation of Indonesian words spoken by Lani native speakers was interfered with Lani phonological rules, in which the respondents tend to substitute the sounds of Indonesian which do not exist in Lani with Lani’s sounds, (2) the respondents intended to make the pronunciation of a second language (Indonesian) easier. This happened because they experienced difficulties in producing several phonemes of Indonesian not existing in Lani’s phonological system. Keywords: Lani, Indonesian, phonological interference 1.

The respondents read out loud all 200 Indonesian. This study investigated Lani words in the list with normal speed reading.

The words phonological rules which interfere in the use of are listed in the following table. Indonesian as second language by native speakers of Lani. Table 1. The Findings of Interference of Lani on To the best of the authors’ knowledge, no Indonesian previous study has been done to discuss the interference of Lani’s phonemes on Indonesian. A previous study conducted by Bromley (1961) compared dialects of Dani language in Papua on the basis of phonemic patterns of structurally relevant contrasts. Therefore, this study addressed the interference of Lani’s phonological features on Indonesian as second language by native speakers of Lani. 2. Method The descriptive qualitative approach was employed in this study. There was a large population of Papuans in Malang that could be taken as the participants for this study. In this case, the population of this study was Lani native speakers who were undergraduate students in Malang. The authors selected five Lani native speakers who speak Indonesian to represent other Lani’s native speakers. The sample was chosen because the research did not necessarily suggest random sampling or selection of a large number of participants, as typically found in quantitative research (Creswell, 2009). There were 5 (five) participants used in this study because there were only a small number of Lani native speakers fulfilling the criteria set for this study. The criteria were as follows. First, the place of origin of the participants were from Lani’s remote areas. Second, the participants used Lani in most of the domains in their life and were not exposed to environments which used Indonesian heavily before coming to Malang. Third, the participants were in their first year in Malang universities. The participant’ status as students was required in this study because they had to use Indonesian actively in Malang to study in the universities and to interact with the society. Their ability to speak Indonesian could be used to investigate the interference of Lani language on Indonesian. The data was collected by asking the participants to read the 200 Swadesh wordlist. 18 Jurnal Budaya, Vol. 1 No. 1, Agustus 2020, pp 17-21 Tabuni et al No Standard Transcription Pronunciation of Phonemes Respondents Indonesian Lani speakers Interfered 1 Air [aɪr] [aɛ] [aɪ] is replaced 4 [aɪ] is not a Lani’s phoneme [aɛ] is not a Lani’s by [aɛ] phoneme 2 Besar [bəsar] [bəsat] [r] is replaced 2 [r] is not a Lani’s phoneme [t] is a Lani’s phoneme by [t] 3 Anjing [anʤiŋ] [anjiŋ] [ʤ] is replaced 5 [ʤ] is not a Lani’s phoneme [j] is not a Lani’s by [j] phoneme 4 Kuning [kuniŋ] [kunin] [ŋ] is replaced 5 [ŋ] is not a Lani’s phoneme [n] is a Lani’s by [n] phoneme 5 Bunga [buŋa] [buŋɡa] [ŋ] is replaced 4 [ŋ] is not a Lani’s phoneme [ŋɡ] is a Lani’s by [ŋɡ] phoneme 6 Daging [dagiŋ] [daŋiŋ] [g] is replaced 4 [g] is not a Lani’s phoneme [ŋ] is not a Lani’s by [ŋ] phoneme 7 Pohon [pohon] [pɔ’ɔn] [h] is 5 [h] is not a Lani’s phoneme pronounced silent 8 Rambut [rambut] [ramput] [b] is replaced 3 [b] is not a Lani’s phoneme [p] is a Lani’s by [p] phoneme 9 Di [di] [ndi] [d] is replaced 2 [d] is not a Lani’s phoneme [nd] is a Lani’s by [nd] phoneme 10 Bulan [bulan] [bulaŋ] [n] is replaced 1 [n] is a Lani’s phoneme [ŋ] is not a Lani’s by [ŋ] phoneme 11 Infrastruktur [infrastruktur] [inprastruktur] [f] is replaced 1 [f] is not a Lani’s phoneme [p] is a Lani’s by [p] phoneme 12 Bergaul [bǝrgaul] [ᵐbǝrgaul] [b] is replaced 1 [b] is not a Lani’s phoneme [ᵐb] is a Lani’s by [ᵐb] phoneme 13 Aktivitas [aktivitas] [aktipitas] [v] is replaced 2 [v] is not a Lani’s phoneme [p] is a Lani’s by [p] phoneme 14 Cukup [ʧukup] [sukup] [ʧ] is replaced 1 [ʧ] is not a Lani’s phoneme [s] is not a Lani’s by [s] phoneme The sound of Indonesian can also be deleted Table 1 presents the orthography of Indonesian by Lani speakers when the sound does not exist in words, their transcription, the pronunciation of Lani’s phonology.

    Melanesian Journal of Theology 13-2 (1997) CHRISTIAN LIFE AND THE LIVING DEAD Russell Thorp Russell Thorp is a New Zealander, who was born in Papua New Guinea. He holds a Bachelor of Ministries from the Bible College of New Zealand. He is currently teaching at the Christian Leaders’ Training College. The following article was written as part of a Master’s degree program. Question: Can primal funeral rites be used in some way to convey a Christian message? To explore this issue we will compare the funeral rites of a Papuan cultural group with those of an African group.1 I will first summarise the African funeral ceremony, as Don Brown relates it in his article. Then I will describe and analyse the funeral ritual of the “Dugum Dani”,2 a Papuan culture in the Highlands of Western Papua New Guinea.3 Once we have a picture of both rituals, we will then use the work of Arnold Van Gennep4 and Ronald Grimes5 to analyse the Dugum Dani ritual. By then, we will be able to draw on our findings, to work out if some aspects of the Dugum Dani funeral rites can be used in conveying a Christian message. 1 Don Brown, “The African Funeral Ceremony: Stumbling Block or Redemptive Analogy?”, in International Journal for Frontier Missions 2-3 (July 1985), p. 255. 2 It has since come to the attention of the author of this article that the name of the tribal group is now recognised as the Dugum Lani people. 3 Karl G.

  • Christianity, Islam, and Nationalism in Indonesia
    Christianity, Islam, and Nationalism in Indonesia As the largest Muslim country in the world, Indonesia is marked by an extraordinary diversity of languages, traditions, cultures, and religions. Christianity, Islam, and Nationalism in Indonesia focuses on Dani Christians of West Papua, providing a social and ethnographic history of the most important indigenous population in the troubled province. It presents a captivating overview of the Dani conversion to Christianity, examining the social, religious, and political uses to which they have put their new religion. Farhadian provides the first major study of a highland Papuan group in an urban context, which distinguishes it from the typical highland Melanesian ethnography. Incorporating cultural and structural approaches, the book affords a fascinating look into the complex relationship among Christianity, Islam, nation making, and indigenous traditions. Based on research over many years, Christianity, Islam, and Nationalism in Indonesia offers an abundance of new material on religious and political events in West Papua. The book underlines the heart of Christian–Muslim rivalries, illuminating the fate of religion in late-modern times. Charles E. Farhadian is Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at Westmont College, Santa Barbara, California.

The New Tribes Mission are a right-wing Christian missionary organisation, who havespread themselves all over the world. From their modest, though violent, beginnings they have never looked back. NTM’s purpose is to make contact with every ‘uncontacted’ tribe on earth and plant churches in the areas where these tribes live. They use coercion and force, having no regard for the peoples’ cultures and lives they are imposing upon. They have links with the CIA and various multinationals, helping to maintain theirpower and growth to some of the most secluded places on earth. They have met with resistance from the tribal people whose wild existence they are on a latter day crusade to eradicate, replacing egalitarian ecological existence with authoritarian monotheistic religion. There have also been attacks on their modes of evangelism here in the West, through liberal do-gooding NGOs,such as Survival Int’l. There has also been direct action taken against them here in England. This is anongoingwar of the civilised versus the savage, a war that most people thought died out in the last century. Most of us when we think of evangelical Christians conjure up images of tacky US TV preachers with microphones, fleecing cash from the alienated dumb(struck) wannabe believers. However, behind this exists the genocide of some of the last peoples on earth, forging an existence on the periphery of civilisation.
