Abstract

Negeri Sembilan, as one of the states in Malaysia, has been greatly influenced by the Minangkabau culture, in particular the Perpatih custom which led to the socalled misunderstanding that Negeri Sembilan Malay language (NSML) resembles or is similar to the Minangkabau language. This article aims to describe the distinctive phonological features of Negeri Sembilan language to mark its identity and therefore prove that it is free from the Minangkabau linguistic influence. This study utilises the Swadesh word list of 100 words to test pronunciation. Thirty informants were involved and they are speakers of the Negeri Sembilan Malay language and speakers of the Minangkabau language both in Malaysia and Sumatera. The research was conducted in Kuala Pilah, Rembau, and Beranang in Malaysia, while in Indonesia the data was collected in Paya Kumbuh, Bukit Tinggi, and Padang. Based on the 100 words tested, this study observed 17 pronunciation patterns in Negeri Sembilan language that are distinct from the Minangkabau language, specifically they are 10 vowel sounds patterns and 7 consonant sounds patterns. From these 17 patterns, 13 only occur in NSML and the remaining 4 patterns occur in both NSML and the Minangkabau language. Hence, it can be concluded that the Negeri Sembilan language has its own distinctive phonological identity, thus distinguishing it from the Minangkabau linguistic features.

语言与认同:森美兰州马来语再评
森美兰州作为马来西亚的一个州,深受米南卡保文化的影响,特别是Perpatih习俗,这导致了所谓的误解,即森美兰州马来语(NSML)类似于或类似于米南卡保语。本文旨在描述森美兰州语独特的语音特征,以标记其身份,从而证明它不受米南卡堡语的影响。本研究使用100个Swadesh单词表来测试发音。涉及30名告密者,他们在马来西亚和苏门答腊都讲森美兰州马来语和米南卡保语。这项研究是在马来西亚的吉隆坡比拉、伦堡和别拉南进行的,而在印度尼西亚,数据是在帕亚昆布、武吉丁吉和巴东收集的。基于100个单词的测试,本研究观察到森美兰州语与米南卡堡语不同的17种发音模式,特别是10种元音发音模式和7种辅音发音模式。在这17种模式中,13种只出现在NSML中,其余4种模式同时出现在NSML和米南卡保语中。因此,可以得出结论,森美兰州语具有自己独特的语音特征,从而将其与米南卡堡语的语言特征区分开来。
