Prophets, Pegon, And Piety; The Javanese Layang Ambiya, Ronit Ricci
Prophets, Pegon, And Piety; The Javanese Layang Ambiya, Ronit Ricci
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
The tales of the prophets are among the most popular textual traditions across the Islamic world and Java proves no exception. Beginning with the first human and first prophet Nabi Adam, these often vast collections recount the biographies of all those viewed as prophets in Islam, ultimately leading up to the “seal of the prophets”, Muhammad. Many manuscripts of this genre were composed and copied in Javanese, in different periods, locales, and milieus, opening a window to how these core Islamic stories and the messages they carry were understood and transmitted in Java. The essay explores one example, a Layang …
To Fast Or Not To Fast?; Pangulu Ki Amad Kategan Challenges His Sultan In The Sĕrat Nitik Sultan Agung, Els Bogaerts
To Fast Or Not To Fast?; Pangulu Ki Amad Kategan Challenges His Sultan In The Sĕrat Nitik Sultan Agung, Els Bogaerts
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
The Sĕrat Nitik Sultan Agung texts relate how Sultan Agung (r. 1613-1645) in a miraculous way conquers the surrounding world. He subjugates its inhabitants to Mataram and converts them to Islam. The selected fragment is an interesting example of how the sultan – refusing to fast during the month of Shawwāl – impresses the people in his environment with his supernatural power, and in particular Ki Amad Kategan, his pangulu, who tries to match his strength with that of the sultan. The two characters engage in a dispute on Islamic matters. Firstly, I discuss the figure of Ki Amad Kategan …
Princess Sodara Kartika Frees Amir From Prison; The Epic Of Amir Hamza (?16th Century), Bernard Arps
Princess Sodara Kartika Frees Amir From Prison; The Epic Of Amir Hamza (?16th Century), Bernard Arps
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
MS Jav. b. 2 (R) is among the earliest Javanese manuscripts brought to Europe by seafarers. It was presented to the Bodleian Library, Oxford, in 1629. Its text – titled Stories of Amir (Caritanira Amir) – sheds new light on the literary and cultural history of Java and the wider Java Sea world. Probably composed in the 1500s, possibly in Banten, the text contains part of an adaptation of the Malay Hikayat Amir Hamzah, itself a rendition of an eleventh-century text in Persian. The protagonist Hamza was an uncle of the Prophet Muhammad. His epic story used to be told …
Metaphor In Sĕrat Cariyos Ringgit Purwa Lampahan Dora Wĕca Mawi Sĕkar Macapat By Raden Mas Panji Arja Suparta, Siti Muslifah
Metaphor In Sĕrat Cariyos Ringgit Purwa Lampahan Dora Wĕca Mawi Sĕkar Macapat By Raden Mas Panji Arja Suparta, Siti Muslifah
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
The Sĕrat cariyos ringgit purwa lampahan Dora Wĕca mawi sĕkar macapat is an example of a translation of a wayang play into poetry, a popular phenomenon in the late nineteenth century. To create aesthetic effects Raden Mas Panji Arja Suparta, the author of the text, makes ample use of metaphors. Some of these metaphors are well-known literary clichés. Others, which are woven into riddles (wangsalan), bring the real world of everyday life in Java vividly into view.
The Drum In The Mosque; A Modern Short Story By Djajus Pete, George Quinn
The Drum In The Mosque; A Modern Short Story By Djajus Pete, George Quinn
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
The short story “Bedhug” (The drum in the mosque) by Djajus Pete (born 1948) was first published in the Javanese-language magazine Panjebar Semangat in 1997. It describes what happens in a small village when well-intentioned local people unsuccessfully attempt to replace an old mosque drum with a bigger, more resonant one. In many Muslim communities, the call to prayer is made by beating a drum in the mosque’s vestibule. The story gives a glimpse of how Islam is changing, and not changing, in Java. It is critical of village institutions and functionaries, but also humorous and deeply affectionate.
Rethinking The Name; The Problem Of The Name Candrakiraṇa In The Oldest Javanese Prosody, Zakariya Pamuji Aminullah
Rethinking The Name; The Problem Of The Name Candrakiraṇa In The Oldest Javanese Prosody, Zakariya Pamuji Aminullah
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
The oldest written text in Javanese literature is Candrakiraṇa, one of its parts, the Amaramālā, mentions “Indra” as a king of the Śailendra dynasty. This work is essential because it includes various elements of prosody which the authors of kakawin needed to compose their literary work. For many years, some Javanese scholars had been debating the proper name of this text, using only one manuscript, LOr 4570, a copy of the incomplete gebang manuscript from the PNRI, which does not have a prologue or an epilogue mentioning its precise name. However, reading L 298, a lontar in the Merapi-Merbabu Collection, …
Flora And Fauna Based On Old Javanese Literary Reading In The Malang Highlands Region, Blasius Suprapta
Flora And Fauna Based On Old Javanese Literary Reading In The Malang Highlands Region, Blasius Suprapta
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
Towards the end of the twelfth century (1104 Ś = AD 1182) until the middle of the fourteenth (1281 Ś = AD 1359), a Hindu-Buddhist civilization, consisting of the Akuwu of Tumapĕl - the kingdom of Siŋhasari – and the kingdom of Majapahit, developed a well-organized social and cultural life in the Malang Highlands Region of Java. This included the management of natural resources, flora and fauna. Although their variety has been well documented in Old Javanese literature and inscriptions, so far there has not been an in-depth study identifying the diversity of flora and fauna of the region during …
When Dad And Mom Are Away From Home... Panji Paniba 11.20-45, Willem Van Der Molen
When Dad And Mom Are Away From Home... Panji Paniba 11.20-45, Willem Van Der Molen
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
Access to the pre-modern world of Classical Javanese literature (seventeenth- nineteenth centuries) starts with a sound knowledge of its idiom. “When dad and mom are away from home...” leads the novice through grammatical constructions and vocabulary not found in Modern Javanese literature. The light-hearted story providing these examples is taken from the Panji Paniba. This early nineteenth-century text belongs to a famous group of Javanese romances of chivalry going by the name of “Panji stories”, all set in the Hindu era of the East-Javanese kingdom of Kediri.
The Song Of Samsu Tabriz In Ronggasasmita’S Suluk Acih, Nancy Florida
The Song Of Samsu Tabriz In Ronggasasmita’S Suluk Acih, Nancy Florida
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
The article contributes an excerpt from the Karaton Surakarta poet Ronggasasmita’s Suluk Kutub (also known as Suluk Samsu Tabriz) along with an annotated translation of the text into English. Suluk Kutub is one of the metaphysical poems that belong to this Sufi poet’s Suluk Acih, a text that he compiled in Aceh in 1815. The poem is a Javanese rendition of the meeting of Jalaluddin Rumi (Jav. Mulana Amir Kaji Rum) with his beloved, Shamsuddin Tabrizi (Jav. Samsu Tabriz). The commentary forms a short meditation on, and guide to, the specific practices of translating Javanese poetry into English – performed …
A Wali’S Quest For Guidance; The Islamic Genealogies Of The Seh Mlaya, Verena Meyer
A Wali’S Quest For Guidance; The Islamic Genealogies Of The Seh Mlaya, Verena Meyer
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
The Seh Mlaya is a narrative tradition of Sunan Kalijaga’s conversion and becoming a wali that is well-known for its drawing on pre-Islamic narrative and discursive legacies. In this article, I explore the Islamic genealogies of the narrative as told in a Surakarta manuscript (RP 333). I argue that the author uses the verse narrative to articulate two prominent, yet seemingly opposed, intellectual and spiritual traditions in Islamic Java and the relation between them: the speculative and ecstatic teachings of the Sufi lineage of the Syattariyah on the one hand, and Ghazālī’s work with its emphasis on obedience and the …
The Poetry Of Minor Characters And Everyday Life In The Sĕrat Cĕnthini, Tony Day
The Poetry Of Minor Characters And Everyday Life In The Sĕrat Cĕnthini, Tony Day
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
The 722 cantos and 247,766 lines of poetry in the Sĕrat Cĕnthini, composed in Surakarta by Ki Ng. Ronggasutrasna, R.Ng. Yasadipura II, and Ki Ng. Sastradipura under the direction of the Crown Prince of Surakarta (later Pakubuwana V, r.1820-1823) in 1815 during the British occupation of Java (1811- 1816), are arguably the greatest expression of literary art ever written in Javanese. The earliest version of the Sĕrat Cĕnthini comes from Cirebon at the beginning of the seventeenth century. When the poem reached Surakarta in the late eighteenth to early nineteenth century, court poets rewrote it, greatly expanding the number of …
Negative Irrealis Clauses In Malay/Indonesian And Sri Lankan Malay Infinitives, Peter Slomanson
Negative Irrealis Clauses In Malay/Indonesian And Sri Lankan Malay Infinitives, Peter Slomanson
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
This article concerns establishing a plausible connection between the word jang(an) in colloquial Malay varieties and jang-, a form which negates infinitives, in the diasporic contact variety Sri Lankan Malay. The principal claim is that jang(an) marks irrealis modality in Southeast Asian Malay varieties, in which it is frequently (optionally) deployed in negative subjunctive-like embedded clauses. A related claim, dependent on the first of the two, is that the irrealis interpretation conveyed by jang(an) makes it a semantically plausible bridge from a Malay grammar with clausal symmetry to the grammar of Sri Lankan Malay. In Sri Lankan Malay, embedded clauses …
“Kanala, Tamaaf, Tramkassie, En Stuur Krieslam”; Lexical And Phonological Echoes Of Malay In Cape Town, Tom Hoogervorst
“Kanala, Tamaaf, Tramkassie, En Stuur Krieslam”; Lexical And Phonological Echoes Of Malay In Cape Town, Tom Hoogervorst
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
This article traces a largely forgotten Malay dialect which was historically in use among South African Muslims of Southeast Asian origin. Its use reached its pinnacle in the eighteenth and nineteenth century. Some elements of the Cape Malay grammar, especially its phonology, can be reconstructed through early- and mid-twentieth-century documents, most of which were written by outsiders when it was no longer passed on as a first language. When read linguistically, these sources reveal that the Malay of Cape Town resembled that of Batavia, Eastern Indonesia, and Sri Lanka. In a later developmental stage, Cape Malay adopted linguistic features from …
“Culture Is A Shadow”, Language As A Shade Fragments Of A Dead Language, Naka’Ela, James T. Collins
“Culture Is A Shadow”, Language As A Shade Fragments Of A Dead Language, Naka’Ela, James T. Collins
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
One of the distinctive languages of Central Maluku, Naka’ela, was once spoken by a remnant language community on the north coast of Seram. Relying on data collected in Seram in 1978, Naka’ela has been among the Central Maluku languages included in studies of morphophonology (Collins 1983a, 1983b), areal phonology shift (1982, 2018a), and language classification (Collins 1983a). A fallacious, mechanistic classification of Naka’ela (Mahsun et al. 2008; Mukhamdanah 2015) was also published and has been recently disproven (Collins 2019a, 2019b). This essay will review some of the aspects of the Naka’ela language system by exploring what we can discern about …

Islamic Cultural And Arabic Linguistic Influence On The Languages Of Nusantara; From Lexical Borrowing To Localized Islamic Lifestyles, Choirul Mahfud, Rika Astari, Abdurrohman Kasdi, Muhammad Arfan Mu'ammar, Muyasaroh Muyasaroh, Firdaus Wajdi
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
This article reviews the breadth of the influence of Arabic on the languages of Nusantara, from the early arrival of Islam in the archipelago to the modern era.1 Focusing on both linguistics and culture, we pay attention to precolonial exchanges, regional languages – in particular Bima, Sasak, Javanese, Sundanese, and Bugis – and the recent influence of Arabic and Islamic culture on the development of technological products, Islamic financial systems, and Islamic lifestyles in contemporary Indonesia. From era to era, Arabic has not only played a role in enriching the vocabulary of the languages of Nusantara, it has also contributed …
From Dugouts To Double Outriggers; Lexical Insights Into The Development Of Swahili Nautical Technology, Martin Walsh
From Dugouts To Double Outriggers; Lexical Insights Into The Development Of Swahili Nautical Technology, Martin Walsh
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
The early history of nautical technology in the western Indian Ocean and adjoining parts of the eastern Africa coast is poorly understood. In the absence of evidence from shipwrecks, it has hitherto been based largely on the uncertain interpretation of a few documentary references and speculation surrounding technological parallels and assumed lexical resemblances. This paper examines some of the linguistic evidence in a more rigorous way, by undertaking a cross-dialectal comparison of names for watercraft and terms for outriggers in Swahili (Kiswahili), a Bantu language spoken on the islands and in scattered communities along the western seaboard of the Indian …
Dressed, Undressed, Or Both; The Case Of Ewaw In Southeast Maluku, Aone Van Engelenhoven
Dressed, Undressed, Or Both; The Case Of Ewaw In Southeast Maluku, Aone Van Engelenhoven
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
This article discusses complexity and simplification in Ewaw (also known as Kei or Keiese), an Austronesian language in Southeast Maluku. Section 1 provides an introduction to the genetics, spelling, and phonology of this language, which is related to the Austronesian languages of Timor. There are two main dialects which subdivide into two variants each. Section 2 provides an overview of the productive inflection in Ewaw and its derivational morphology, of which only reduplication is still productive. It has two noun classes and four verb classes, seventeen derivational prefixes and four derivational suffixes. Section 3 is a sketch of Ewaw syntax …
Preserving And Empowering Local Languages Amidst The Covid-19 Pandemic; Lessons From East Kalimantan, Allan F. Lauder, Multamia R.M.T. Lauder, Kiftiawati Kiftiawati
Preserving And Empowering Local Languages Amidst The Covid-19 Pandemic; Lessons From East Kalimantan, Allan F. Lauder, Multamia R.M.T. Lauder, Kiftiawati Kiftiawati
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
This article brings together two ostensibly separate subjects: language empowerment and the Covid-19 pandemic. It argues that knowledge of local languages can help disseminate health-related information on a regional level. This addresses two problems simultaneously: the problems raised by the intelligibilty of governmental healthcare protocols and the functions of the use of local languages. The article is a case study presenting a number of interventions in the languages of East Kalimantan and can be seen as an inclusive, grassroots example of health communication. The study was initially a modest attempt to generate on-the-ground examples of health information in the dominant …
Babaring Lelakon; The Use Of -Ing In Javanese Genitive Constructions, Daniel Krauße
Babaring Lelakon; The Use Of -Ing In Javanese Genitive Constructions, Daniel Krauße
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
Two nominals in a genitive construction in Javanese are typically linked by the suffix -é in the low speech level and by -ipun in the high level, both of which are derived from the third person possessive suffix. There is a third suffix which links two nominals, namely -ing, which has so far received little attention in the literature. In this article, I present a syntactic and historical analysis of the suffix -ing. Of particular concern are four types of genitive constructions which permit the use of -ing, as opposed to two constructions where this suffix cannot be used.

Some Notes On The Semerap Dialect Of Kerinci And Its Historical Development, Ernanda Ernanda
Some Notes On The Semerap Dialect Of Kerinci And Its Historical Development, Ernanda Ernanda
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
This article investigates the historical development of a hitherto undescribed Kerinci variety, the Semerap dialect, from a comparative Malayic perspective. The morphophonological characteristics of Kerinci languages are unusual within the Austronesian language family. This preliminary study, therefore, pays special attention to the characteristic four-way split of the historical root- final *V(C)# in Semerap lexemes: absolute, oblique, K-words, and G-words. Like other Kerinci varieties, the Semerap dialect features a type of phonological word-shape alternation, generally known as “phrasal alternation”, which also impacts on its syntax. This alternation (absolute vs. oblique) is determined by the syntactic position of the root, but also …
South Borneo As An Ancient Sprachbund Area, Alexander Adelaar
South Borneo As An Ancient Sprachbund Area, Alexander Adelaar
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
In South and Central Kalimantan (southern Borneo) there are some unusual linguistic features shared among languages which are adjacent but do not belong to the same genetic linguistic subgroups. These languages are predominantly Banjar Malay (a Malayic language), Ngaju (a West Barito language), and Ma’anyan (a Southeast Barito language). The same features also appear to some degree in Malagasy, a Southeast Barito language in East Africa. The shared linguistic features are the following ones: a grammaticalized form of the originally Malay noun buah ‘fruit’ expressing affectedness, nasal spreading in which N- not only nasalizes the onset of the first syllable …
Iban As A Koine Language In Sarawak, Chong Shin
Iban As A Koine Language In Sarawak, Chong Shin
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
This article attempts to delineate the issue of linguistic homogeny in Iban variants in Sarawak (Malaysia). In brief, the Iban speakers are claimed to descend from Upper Kapuas watershed, Western Kalimantan (Indonesia). Based on local traditions and oral materials, this ethnic group began to move out from Kapuas watershed and penetrate into Sarawak in sixteenth century. After several generations, they expanded to become the major ethnic group in the state. Several recent studies show that the number of ethnic Ibans in West Kalimantan is fairly small and the distribution of Iban communities often displays a pattern of distant pockets or …
Vowel Fronting, Raising, And Backing In Luzon And North-Central Sulawesi, Jason William Lobel
Vowel Fronting, Raising, And Backing In Luzon And North-Central Sulawesi, Jason William Lobel
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
This article presents an overview of four shifts – low vowel fronting, low vowel backing, back vowel fronting, and mid vowel raising – found in a number of languages on or near the Pacific coast of Luzon in the Philippines and in north- central Sulawesi in Indonesia. A more extensive illustration of low vowel fronting is given for Umiray Dumaget than has previously been made available, and a second, sporadic correspondence in Umiray Dumaget is shown to be only irregular and unconditioned. Interactions with Philippine-type morphology are also shown to result in synchronically productive alternations in Umiray Dumaget and several …
The Particle Ma In Old Sundanese, Aditia Gunawan, Evi Fuji Fauziyah
The Particle Ma In Old Sundanese, Aditia Gunawan, Evi Fuji Fauziyah
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
This article will analyse the distribution of the particle ma in Old Sundanese texts. Based on an examination of fifteen Old Sundanese texts (two inscriptions, eight prose texts, and five poems), we have identified 730 occurrences of ma. We have selected several examples which represent the range of its grammatical functions in sentences. Our observations are as follows: (1) ma not only appears in direct dialogues, but also in narrative texts, both prose and verse; (2) ma functions as a copula in nominal sentences, connecting subject and predicate; (3) in conditional clauses containing the conjunction lamun, ma has a function …

Language Use And Tourism In Yogyakarta; The Linguistic Landscape Of Malioboro, Anna Marietta Da Silva, Yassir Nasanius Tjung, Sri Hapsari Wijayanti, Christiany Suwartono
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
The present study provides a depiction of Malioboro through language presentation, language preference and sign informativeness. Seven hundred and twenty-nine public signs were examined and analyzed. Analysis was limited to words. A survey on language preference and sign informativeness, clarity and visibility to both local and foreign visitors also conducted. Findings show the dominance of Indonesian language in Malioboro linguistic landscape; 73% of the signs were in Indonesian and all non-commercial signs used Indonesian. Only 15% of the entire signs use English and less than 5% of the signs contain Javanese script or Romanized Javanese. Mainly targeting Indonesian speakers, the …
