“…The examples of researches like the one by Siebenhütter's (2021) on Kui also shows the same that a language can survive if its speakers have positive attitudes towards speaking it. Even though the language has a low instrumental value, the speakers have positive attitudes towards maintaining it therefore Kui continue to survive side by side with Thai language.…”

This qualitative study explores the attitudes that speakers of Dhatki as a first language (L1) hold towards their mother tongue and their willingness to maintain the language in the future. The study also touches areas such as young speakers of Dhatki as L1 and their interest in learning different languages. The research data was collected through the semi-structured interviews based on multiple sessions. Grounded theory has been used as the approach to execute the study. The data was analyzed and turned into codes and themes. The participants do not think Dhatki has any instrumental value because it is not used in schools and other official domains around the country. Although Dhatki's instrumental value is low, the children hold positive attitudes towards maintenance of their L1. The children do not think that Dhatki should be used in the school as the medium of instruction because it is not used in the rest of the country and it could cause a hindrance in their learning and job seeking. The children have integrative motivation to continue learning and maintaining Dhatki because it is a part of who they are. They want to be able to stay in contact with their family and close ones to share their world experiences. However there are a few children who are not interested in maintaining Dhatki as their L1 and transfer it to the next generation because Dhatki has a low instrumental value. The situation of Dhatki can be improved by introducing it as a subject in the school and organizing programs to celebrate the Dhatki language and culture. To stop language loss due to language shift and language death, it is important to improve a language's instrumental value.

“…Expert consultations with native speakers, language scholars, and cultural experts from the Riau and West Java regions played a vital role in contextualizing our findings. These consultations provided valuable insights into the sociolinguistic dynamics, language attitudes, and language preservation efforts within the communities where Riau-Malay and Sundanese are spoken (Siebenhütter, 2021).…”

This study presents a comprehensive comparative analysis of verbal affixes in two Austronesian languages, Riau-Malay and Sundanese, with a focus on their morphological, syntactic, and semantic properties. Both languages are spoken in the Indonesian archipelago, and while they share certain linguistic characteristics, they exhibit intriguing differences in their verbal affixation systems. This study aims to contribute to the understanding of linguistic diversity within Austronesian languages and to reveal on the mechanisms underlying verb formation in these two distinct linguistic systems. By comparing and contrasting the verbal affixation systems in these languages, this study aims to reveal striking differences in terms of affix types, attachment patterns, and grammatical functions. The analysis explored the morphology of verbal affixes used in Riau-Malay and its comparison in Sundanese. It identifies clear distinctions in the ways affixes are employed to mark tense, aspect, mood, and other grammatical categories. Furthermore, the study also investigated the syntactic roles of verbal affixes, exploring how they affect word order and argument structure in sentences. This analysis exposes intriguing patterns of valency-changing operations in Riau-Malay and Sundanese. The findings of this study are expected to enhance people’s understanding of Riau-Malay and Sundanese and to contribute to the broader typological and theoretical discussions in linguistics. The comparative analysis of these two languages provides valuable insights into the ways in which languages within the Austronesian family can diverge and adapt to their unique cultural and historical contexts. Ultimately, this study may be valuable to advance our knowledge of linguistic diversity and variation, offering a deeper appreciation of the intricate web of languages that shape human communication in the Indonesian archipelago and beyond.

Yn 2017, cyflwynodd Llywodraeth Cymru Cymraeg 2050, strategaeth uchelgeisiol i gynyddu nifer y siaradwyr Cymraeg yng Nghymru (Llywodraeth Cymru, 2017). Mae system addysg Cymru yn nodwedd hanfodol bwysig o’r strategaeth hon. Yn 2013, nododd adolygiad o addysgu Cymraeg yng Nghyfnodau Allweddol 3 a 4 (Davies, 2013) fylchau sylweddol yn y gwaith o baratoi a hyfforddi athrawon i addysgu Cymraeg fel Ail Iaith, ethos Cymraeg gwael mewn llawer o ysgolion, a diffyg cyffredinol o ran adnoddau i gefnogi addysgu’r Gymraeg. Roedd yr argymhellion yn cynnwys sawl dimensiwn gan gynnwys cynnwys y cwricwlwm, ymarfer addysgegol, ac asesu, hyfforddiant ac adnoddau athrawon. Gyda dyfodiad fframwaith cwricwlaidd cenedlaethol newydd (Llywodraeth Cymru, 2015), mae’r astudiaeth hon yn adeiladu ar adolygiad Davies (2013) ac yn rhoi manylion digynsail am ganfyddiadau myfyrwyr o addysgu Cymraeg. Dadansoddwyd data a gynhyrchwyd drwy grwpiau ffocws gyda myfyrwyr gan ystyried damcaniaeth dynameg gr?p Dörnyei, gan roi beirniadaeth ddeifiol o’r nodau ar gyfer addysgu Cymraeg, ymarfer addysgeg athrawon, a’r hyn y mae myfyrwyr yn awgrymu ei fod yn ddiffyg cysylltiad cyffredinol rhwng addysgu Cymraeg a’r defnydd o’r iaith yn eu bywydau bob dydd.
