“…The data for this qualitative research was collected from hikayat, a type of literary work in Acehnese. These literary works have been used by other researchers in linguistic studies (e.g., Aziz, Yusuf, Mustafa, & Munawarah, 2020;Mustafa, 2022bMustafa, , 2022a. It was written in the form of poems, and it was usually read with a specific monotonous melody.…”

Reduplication in Acehnese serves many functions such as plurality, reciprocity, emphasis, continuity, and repetitions. This word formation process has been previously analyzed in terms of morphology and traditional phonology. The present study was aimed at discovering constraint ordering of the reduplication to find out the rules which govern each pattern of reduplication in the language. The study employed Correspondence Theory under the umbrella of Optimality Theory, focusing on full and partial reduplication, leaving out rhyming reduplication due to framework limitation. The results show that all patterns of reduplication in Acehnese follow normal application where well-formedness proceeds faithfulness (MAX-IO) and precedes reduplicative identity (MAX-BR). The well-formedness for full reduplication only includes constraint of complex nucleus, where a final diphthong in the base changes to a monophthong in the reduplicant. For partial reduplication, constraint for well-formedness is that the syllable should be open, preceded by reduplicant size of no more than one syllable and alignment (either left for reduplicating prefix or right for reduplicating suffix). The well-formedness is proceeded by no insertion (DEP-BR). This study indicates the need to establish ranking of constraints which govern the phonology of Acehnese outside the context of reduplication, which is suggestion for future studies.

“…Concerning the Acehnese vocabulary popularly used, there are at least around 112 to 250 Acehnese words registered in the fourth and fifth editions of the Indonesian Language Big Dictionary published by Badan Bahasa (Samsuddin, 2017). This number is yet tentative, as there are still so many Acehnese words that remain undocumented in official archives (Aziz et al, 2020), or even rarely taught or learned in formal education settings.…”

Acehnese Loanwords and Contact with Other World's Languages

The research aimed to uncover some Acehnese loanwords’ etymological and historical roots, which may help unravel the relationships between the world’s languages. The method applied in the research was the word-etymology model or lexical etymology to trace the word’s origins in historical linguistics. In addition, the systematic comparison with other related languages and semantic change typology were also exercised for the purpose of analysis. The data consisted of some selected Acehnese loanwords from the phone interviews with the participants selected purposively in different districts in Aceh. The findings reveal that the Acehnese language is etymologically categorized as part of the Austronesian language (Chamic and Malay), Arabic Afro-Asiatic language, Sanskrit (Bengali, Urdu, Gujarat), English, and Indo-European. The research attests that Acehnese loanwords may also be influenced by cross-language loanwords and borrowings simultaneously, such as Arabic from the Afro-Asiatic language family, Dutch or German, and English from the Indo-European language.

“…In Indonesia, previous studies on archaic vocabulary have been researched by some scholars such as those conducted by Yulis and Jufrizal (2013), Aziz et al (2020) and Sinaga et al (2021). The studies only described the characteristics, processes, and vocabulary categories of ethnic languages in Indonesia which are almost extinct.…”

The study of the disappearance of local languages throughout the world continues to spark the interest of linguists. Even though this fear has been raised in several Indonesian government initiatives, academics have completed a comparatively limited study on local language vocabulary in Indonesia, particularly The Panai Malay Language (PML), which continues to decrease in its usage by its speakers. The objectives of this study are to describe the features of archaic vocabularies of the Panai Malay language and to investigate the pattern of Panai Malay language revitalization. The research was conducted using a qualitative research method with the ethnography research design by using 591 vocabularies as research data sources. The results of this study reveal that PML archaic vocabularies are found in 10 domains, namely the realm of family, agriculture, housing, food-beverage, customs, health, marine, human body, clothing, and human nature. The archaic domains of PML vocabularies are more dominantly found in the domains of human nature, namely 30 vocabularies or 8.15% for teenage respondents, while according to adult respondents 13 vocabulary (9.70%), and older people by 12 words (13.48%). The revitalization of archaic vocabularies of PML should be implemented through formal efforts by integrating the language material in the formal learning process through the Local Content Curriculum as well as by writing the PML Dictionary which should be shared through social media such as Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp. Revitalization through non-formal channels should be carried out through communication training, publishing folklore by incorporating PML archaic vocabularies, and reactivating PML cultural activities.
