Preserving Madurese Language, Is It Important?

Indonesia has a variety of regional languages that are used to communicate. Based on data from the Summer Institute of Linguistics, there are 735 regional languages in Indonesia. Of the 735 regional languages, the Madurese language is not included in the category of endangered because the number of speakers is still more than 100,000 people. However, BPS data shows that Madurese language speakers have continued to decline. In 1980, the number of Madurese speakers was 6,913,977 people. In 1990 there were 6,792,447 speakers. The data shows that every year around 12,153 Madurese speakers decrease. There are various reasons why the Madurese language is decreasing. Some of them, they feel ashamed to use the Madurese language because Madurese is considered the language of the middle to lower economic class and is synonymous with the language of people who are not educated. In daily life on Madura Island, the surrounding small islands, as well as overseas, children are also more often invited to communicate using Indonesian and rarely use Madurese as the language of daily communication. It would be a shame if the Madurese language would eventually become extinct because the Madurese language has enormous potential to be used as an Indonesian Absorption Source Language (Bahasa Sumber Serapan/ BSS). In certain matters Madurese is richer than Indonesian. Based on this explanation, with the potential for Madurese to be used as BSS Indonesian, raises the question: is it important to preserve the Madurese language amid the increasing abandonment of the Madurese language by its speakers?

SPEECH LEVELS OF MADURESE LANGUAGE: A SOCIO-PRAGMATIC STUDY OF BANGKALAN DIALECT

Each ethic group in Indonesia has its own vernacular language to communicate each other politely and effectively. Among abundant vernacular languages spoken by various ethnic groups in Indonesia, Madurese language spoken by Madurese inhabitants is worth investigating due to its peculiarity. There are three speech levels of Madurese language namely Énjék Iyéh (Bâsa Andhâp/Low Level), Énggê Éntén (Bâsa Tenga’an/Mid-Level), and Enggi Buntén (Bâsa Tenggi/High Level). These different speech levels determine the use of different lexicons based on the setting of the conversation and the participants’ social role and age. This vernacular has four dialects divided based on their regencies namely Sumenep, Pamekasan, Sampang, and Bangkalan. Among the four dialects, Bangkalan is the most well-known for its frequent use of Énjék Iyéh variety. However, Enggi Buntén is still used when talking to more educated people such as Kyai and teachers, when talking to the respected elders, or when talking to strangers. This study aims at (1) elaborating the speech levels of Madurese language, particularly Bangkalan dialect, used in different settings by speakers of different social statuses and ages and (2) explaining the different lexicons used in each of those settings. The data were collected from the daily conversations of Bangkalan-dialect speakers living in Galis district

Comparison of Modified Nazief&Adriani and Modified Enhanced Confix Stripping algorithms for Madurese Language Stemming

The Madurese language has a unique morphology. The morphological uniqueness can be used to find basic words. The basic word process is called stemming. Stemming can be developed into an application for translating Madurese into Indonesian and even other languages. It can support the development of a Madurese language text plagiarism system. Stemming research on the Madurese language is still rare. Therefore, this study aims to find the basic words of the Madurese language using modifications to the Nazief & Adriani algorithm and Enhanced Confix Stripping (ECS) modifications. The study used 1000 Madurese words, consisting of 630 prefix words, 74 ending words, and 296 confix words. The results showed that the modification of the Nazief & Adriani algorithm was better, shown by the accuracy obtained of 88.8% with overstemming of 0.7% and understemming of 10.5%. As for ECS, an accuracy of 74.0% was obtained, 0.4% overstemming, and 25.6% understemming. In the same process, Nazief&Adriani's modification is faster than the ECS modification. For the Nazief&Adriani modification, it takes 13.31 seconds while for the ECS modification, it takes 210.88.The Madurese language has a unique morphology.
