Academic literature on the topic 'Ambonese Malay'

The Malay Ambonese language is a that is classified as a family or dialect of standard Malay language spoken by the people residing in Ambon Island, Lease Islands, Saparua, Haruku Nusa Laut, Buano Island, Manipa Island, Kelang Island and Seram Island . Malay Ambones language is also used as a trading language in Kei, Banda, Watubela Islands, Buru Island, Southeast Maluku to Southwest Maluku. The Malay Ambonese language has 245.020 million speakers spread throughout the Maluku Islands. Malay Ambonese language is included in the Polynesian Malay family. One way to preserve Malay Ambonese language is needed phonological research including the characteristics and distribution in the word. This study aims to determine the number of Malay language phonemes of Ambon dialect and its distribution in the word. Methode this research is qualitative-descriptive method. The analysis shows that the phoneme contained in Malay Ambonese language consists of five vowel phonemes and nineteen consonant phonemes.

The objective of this study is to describe the types of personal pronouns in the Ambonese Malay language. This research applies the qualitative descriptive method to analyze the language phenomenon objectively. The research data are oral data taken from communication between the people in Ambon City and its surroundings, which consists of all ages of the Ambonese Malay language speaker. The data are collected using the observation method, recording, and writing technique. The analysis of selected data is using a descriptive qualitative method. The results show that there are several pronouns of the Ambonese Malay language. They are first-singular personal pronouns, and first-plural personal pronouns; second-singular personal pronouns, and second-plural personal pronouns; third-singular personal pronoun, and third-plural personal pronouns; kinship lexeme personal pronouns.

Varieties of Malay, including Indonesian, have been variously described as having word stress on the penultimate syllable, as having variable word stress and as having a phrase-final pitch accent without word stress. In Ambonese Malay, the alignment of sentence-final pitch peaks fails to support the existence of either word stress or phrase-final pitch accents. Also, the shape of its pitch peaks fails to vary systematically with the information status of the phrase-final word. The two intonation melodies of the language include phrase-final boundary-tone complexes which do not associate with any syllables. The declarative rise-fall would appear to be timed so as to occur within the last word of the sentence. Minimal stress pairs presented in earlier descriptions show a contrast between /a/ and a segmentally distinct weak /ă/, a contrast that also appears in positions that have not been claimed to have stress. A preliminary phonological analysis concludes the account.
