63-510: Aslian languages originally appeared on the western side of the main mountains and eventually spread eastwards into Kelantan , Terengganu and Pahang . The nearest relatives to the Aslian languages are Monic and Nicobarese . There is a possibility the early Monic and Nicobarese people had contact with the migrants who moved into the Malay Peninsula from further north. Aslian languages contain

126-574: A certain extent, the Southern Thai language is also used. 95.7% of Kelantan's population are ethnic Malays, and under the Malaysian Constitution, all Malays are Muslims; therefore, Islam is the largest religion in the state. Kota Bharu, as the state capital, is a popular centre for pursuits such as silat , martial arts , and kertok drumming. Here, too, more than any other place in Malaysia,

189-402: A complex palimpsest of loanwords from linguistic communities that no longer exist on the Malay Peninsula. Their former residence can be traced from the etymologies and the archaeological evidence for the succession of cultures in the region. Roger Blench (2006) notes that Aslian languages have many Bornean and Chamic loanwords, pointing to a former presence of Bornean and Chamic speakers on

252-423: A glottal stop. In most Aslian languages, aspirated consonants are analyzed as sequences of two phonemes, one of which happens to be h . Aslian syllable-initial consonant clusters are rich and varied. Stops for example may cluster without restrictions to their place of articulation or voicing : Articulation of laryngeal consonants /h, ʔ/ may be superimposed upon the vowel midway in its articulation, giving

315-768: A landslide nationally. However, after the 2008 Malaysian general election , the PAS regained a two-thirds majority of seats in the state assembly. Rising high on the slopes of Gunung Korbu , the second highest peak in Peninsular Malaysia, the Nengiri River flows east to merge first with the Galas, and then with the Lebir — the latter begins in the Taman Negara National Park — before turning decisively northwards and emptying into

378-467: A large victory in 1999 due in part to Malayan anger over the treatment of former Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim by Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad and other officials of the national government. In 2004 the PAS nearly lost control of Kelantan, retaining it with only a 1-seat majority, when the Barisan Nasional, under the new leadership of Abdullah Badawi following Mahathir's retirement, won by

441-1153: A superscripted letter in Manx and in Cornish. Examples in Manx include: In Cornish, pre-occlusion mostly affects the reflexes of older geminate/fortis /m/ , intrinsically geminated in Old Cornish, and /nn/ (or /N/ depending on preferred notation). It also arises in a few cases where the combination /n+j/ was apparently re-interpreted as /nnʲ/ . Examples in Cornish : In Faroese , pre-occlusion also occurs, as in kallar [ˈkatlaɹ] 'you call, he calls', seinna [ˈsaiːtna] 'latter'. A similar feature occurs in Icelandic , as in galli [ˈkatlɪ] ('error'); sæll [ˈsaitl̥] , seinna [ˈseitna] ; Spánn [ˈspautn̥] . Pre-stopped nasals and laterals are found in some Australian Aboriginal languages , such as Kuyani (Adnyamathanha), Arabana , Wangkangurru , Diyari , Aranda (nasals only), and Martuthunira (laterals only). Adnyamathanha, for example, has

504-475: Is prestopped/prestopping . In descriptions of the languages of Southeast Asia, Australia, and the Pacific, preploded/preplosion is common, though prestopped is also used. In accounts of Celtic languages, preoccluded/preocclusion is used almost exclusively. Technically, nasals are already occlusives, and are often considered stops; however, some prefer to restrict the term 'stop' for consonants in which there

567-574: Is 95.7% Malay, 3.4% Chinese, 0.3% Indian and 0.6% others. The ethnicities of Kelantan generally live together harmoniously. For example, members of the Thai community received a permit to build a very large statue of the Buddha without any objection from the Malay community or the PAS government that granted the permit. Kelantanese Malays are the predominant ethnic group in the state. They speak Kelantanese Malay which

630-513: Is a phonological process involving the historical or allophonic insertion of a very short stop consonant before a sonorant , such as a short [d] before a nasal [n] or a lateral [l] , or a short [p] before a nasal [m] . The resulting sounds ( [ᵈn, ᵈl, ᵖm] ) are called pre-stopped consonants , or sometimes pre-ploded or (in Celtic linguistics) pre-occluded consonants, although technically [n] may be considered an occlusive/stop without

693-502: Is a state in Malaysia . The capital, Kota Bharu , includes the royal seat of Kubang Kerian. The honorific name of the state is Darul Naim (Jawi: دار النعيم ‎ ; "The Blissful Abode"). Kelantan is the only state outside of East Malaysia that does not use the term district in its second-level administrative division. Instead, the divisions are called colonies ( Jajahan ) or collectivities with one autonomous subdistrict. Kelantan

756-482: Is also an important economic activity. Cottage industries which employ traditional skills in handicraft production such as batik , woodcarving and songket weaving are also evident. Logging activities are active given the vast remaining area of forest. In recent years, tourism, especially to offshore islands, has increased in importance. A few reputable hotels have been established and more modern shopping malls have been opened to cater to urban populations. Kota Bharu,

819-701: Is also visible in the hundreds of Thai wats , also known as ketik , found throughout the state. Since 1980, the longest statue of a reclining Buddha in Southeast Asia can be found in Wat Photivihan , in Tumpat . This temple is very popular with pilgrims and devotees. The Metta chanting uses the original Pali language or a Thai translation. About a thousand visitors attend the Wat for such religious celebrations as Tok'katinna, Loy Krathong , Saibat and Songkran . In Kelantan,

882-524: Is complete cessation of airflow, so 'prenasalized stop' and 'prestopped nasal' are not necessarily tautologies. In Manx , pre-occlusion occurs in stressed monosyllabic words (i.e. words one syllable long), and is also found in Cornish on certain stressed syllables. The inserted stop is homorganic with the sonorant, which means it has the same place of articulation . Long vowels are often shortened before pre-occluded sounds. In transcription, pre-occluding consonants in final position are typically written with

945-481: Is distinguished from standard Malay as well as other Malay varieties in Malaysia by its unique grammar, pronunciation and figures of speech. Kelantanese Malay is somewhat mutually intelligible with other Malay dialects. Jawi script , which has less influence in other parts of Malaysia, is still widely used in writing and printing the Malay language in Kelantan. Signboards in Kelantan are written in both Jawi and Rumi. To

1008-496: Is located in the north-eastern corner of the Peninsular Malaysia . Kelantan is an agrarian state with paddy fields , fishing villages and casuarina -lined beaches. Kelantan is home to some of the most ancient archaeological discoveries in Malaysia, including several prehistoric aboriginal settlements. Due to Kelantan's relative isolation and largely rural lifestyle, Kelantanese culture differs somewhat from Malay culture in

1071-525: Is owed between RM850 million and RM1 billion from oil revenue royalties from the central government, according to the Petroleum Act 1974. In 2009, the central government offered 'compensation' or Wang Ehsan , a fraction of the sum actually owed. Discrimination of Kelantan on the matter has led the state government considering action in the International Court of Justice (ICJ). Support for Kelantan and

1134-474: Is the causative -r-, which is productive in Semai and Temiar. Nasal infixes are also found in Aslian, especially used as nominalizers of verbal roots. A reduplication of the final consonant of the root is being infixed to the root. This process occurs in all 3 branches of Aslian. Aslian syntax is presumably conservative with respect to Austroasiatic as a whole, though Malay influence is apparent in some details of

1197-423: Is unclassified, and may or may not be Aslian. Phillips (2012:194) lists the following consonant sound changes that each Aslian branch had innovated from Proto-Aslian . The Proto-Aslian language has been reconstructed by Timothy Phillips (2012). Aslian words may either be monosyllabic, sesquisyllabic or disyllabic: Aslian words generally start with a consonant. Words which start with a vowel will be followed by

1260-748: The Japanese first landed during their invasion of Malaya , on 8 December 1941. In 1943, Kelantan was transferred by the Japanese to Thailand and became a province of Thailand . Kelantan reverted to Malaya upon the end of World War II in August 1945. Kelantan became part of the Malayan Union in 1946 and then the Federation of Malaya on 1 February 1948, and together with other Malayan states attained independence on 31 August 1957. On 16 September 1963, Kelantan became one of

1323-502: The Kelantanese Chinese see themselves as either Cino Kapong (village Chinese) or Cino Bandar (town Chinese). Famous Chinese villages in Kelantan include Kampung Tok'kong (300-year-old temple), Batu Jong, Kampung Jelatok, Kampung Joh, Kampung Temangan, Kampung Mata Ayer, Kampung Tawang, Kampung Balai , and Gua Musang . Descendants of the earlier waves of small-scale migration are known as Oghe Cino kito (our very own Chinese) and

1386-664: The Kelantanese dialect . Much of Chinese culture still continues until today; such as the lion dance and dragon dance during Chinese New Year , temple celebration, eating bakchang (meat dumpling), mooncake , baby fullmoon, pulut kuning, telur merah, eat 'e' ( tangyuan ), religious celebration including praying to the Na Tuk Kong . They also cook 'bak hong', 'uang (meatball)' during wedding ceremonies and 'kiam mai' during funerals. Pre-stopped nasal In linguistics , pre-stopping , also known as pre-occlusion or pre-plosion ,

1449-600: The Malay Peninsula from the Gulf of Thailand region prior to Mon dominance , and was part of an early southern dispersal that also included Nicobaric . Due to its early split from the rest of Austroasiatic, Aslian contains many retentions and has escaped the areal influences that had later swept mainland Southeast Asia . Aslian likely arrived at around the Pahang area and then spread inland and upstream. The extinct Kenaboi language

1512-506: The Malay Peninsula . Blagden (1906), Evans (1937) and Blench (2006) note that Aslian languages, especially the Northern Aslian ( Jahaic ) group, contain many words that cannot be traced to any currently known language family. The extinct Kenaboi language of Negeri Sembilan also contains many words of unknown origin in addition to words of Austroasiatic and Austronesian origin. Sidwell (2023) proposed that Proto-Aslian had arrived in

1575-643: The Thai language spoken in Kelantan is called Tak Bai , after the southernmost coastal town Tak Bai of Narathiwat province , just across the Golok River from Malaysia. The Tak Bai dialect differs substantially from standard southern Thai and other regional Thai dialects, and it seems certain that the Kelantan Thais are the descendants of an original enclave of Narathiwat settlers established in sparsely populated Malay territory as long as four centuries ago. Buddhism

1638-645: The Titiwangsa Mountains , which are part of the Tenasserim Hills that span southern Myanmar , southern Thailand and Peninsular Malaysia, with Mount Yong Belar being the state's highest point. There are a number of theories for the origin of the name Kelantan . One theory proposes that the word Kelantan comes from a modified version of the word gelam hutam , the Malay word for the cajuput , or swamp tea tree ( Melaleuca leucadendron ). Other theories claim that

1701-465: The continental shelf , is entirely in federal hands. However, because exploration of oil and gas is approximately 150 km from Kota Bharu and beyond the territorial water of Kelantan. Emeritus Professor Shad Saleem Faruqi concluded that Kelantan has no constitutional right to regulate it and to receive compensation for it. He further argued given the agreement deed to support Kelantan rights over royalties will render as unconstitutional and void under

1764-478: The states of Malaysia . The Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) came to power in Kelantan for the first time in 1959. In November 1977, the federal government declared a state of emergency in Kelantan following a political crisis and street violence. An election took place soon after the emergency, in which the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) won removing the PAS from power. Kelantan

1827-426: The Aslian family, final nasals are pre-stopped . In Northern Aslian this has gone further, with final nasals merging with the plosive series. All Aslian languages that have been thoroughly studied have constructive usage of various morphophonemic devices – prefixation, infixation and reduplication. Also, most Aslian languages preserve fossilized traces of other morphological patterns that are no longer productive. It

1890-609: The Malaysian-Thai border, where Kelantanese and Southern Thais cross frequently to visit their relatives and transport goods for small business. A part of the conservative Malay heartland, Kelantan has been ruled by the Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) since 1990. It is one of four Malaysian states led by PAS after the 2022 elections, the others being Terengganu, Kedah, and Perlis. Almost all PAS members are Malay Muslims, as are about 97% of Kelantan's population. For years,

1953-527: The Muslim population, many consider them an act of defiance against Barisan Nasional's laws — which are more tolerant, depending on one's viewpoint — and also a significant loss to Malay traditional arts. A 2019 directive from the office of the Sultan prohibited state government buildings from displaying portraits of individuals other than the Sultan, Crown Prince, previous Sultan, and the state's First Minister .

2016-495: The Northern and Southern Aslian branches. The loss of vowel length must have led to complex reorganizations in the vocalic systems of the affected languages, by developing new contrasts elsewhere. Diphthongization is not as obvious in Aslian languages as compared to the other branches of Mon–Khmer. Proto- Semai is reconstructed with 10-11 long monophthongal vowels, but with only one diphthong, /iə/ . Senoic infixes are sensitive to

2079-572: The PAS has attempted to impose a strict interpretation of Islamic Law on Kelantan. It has successfully imposed certain social strictures such as single-sex supermarket queues, separate public benches for men and women, and limiting entertainment centers to prohibit "salacious behavior." An Islamic regional law such as caning for unmarried couples doing cohabitation (khalwat), amputation of limbs for thievery, execution for murder, and stoning for adultery (collectively known as Hudud Law) have been passed and enacted into law, however, have been unenforced by

2142-513: The capital, is the major urban centre, and there are also plans to open up the southern portion of the state under an ambitious multimillion-dollar development project. The main market at the city centre is a top attraction. Kelantan had a GDP per capita in 2006 at RM7,985. The State Socioeconomic Report 2017 published on 26 July 2018 reported that Kelantan has a GDP per capita of RM13,593 in 2017, significantly lower than any other state in Malaysia. Kelantan's cultural ties with Pattani make use of

2205-486: The doctrine of severability (constitutional parts of the law remain even if other parts are unconstitutional), as the Assignment by Kelantan gives to Petronas the ownership of all petroleum "whether lying onshore or offshore of Malaysia" was an overstatement, and Kelantan has no rights to what lies off the shores of the whole of Malaysia. States cannot transfer rights over something they do not own. Unfortunately for Kelantan,

2268-488: The elders are seen as Oghe Kelate beto (true Kelantanese). Cina Kampung assimilation in Kelantan is manifested as: "Malay behaviour as frontstage and Chinese behaviour as backstage". "Frontstage" or public behaviour includes speaking Kelantanese Malay even when among themselves, adopting Malay-style clothing, and observing certain Malay customs and holidays. "Backstage" or private behaviour includes maintaining certain traditional Chinese beliefs and customs confined only within

2331-458: The eldest son of Long Yunus. The pro-Terengganu faction was defeated in 1800 and Long Muhammad ruled Kelantan with the new title of Sultan as Sultan Muhammad I. Later, when the Sultan died childless, it triggered another civil war among claimants to the throne. His nephew Long Senik Mulut Merah, triumphed over his uncles and cousins and assumed the throne in 1835 as Sultan Muhammad II. Sultan Muhammad II used his loose alliance with Siam to form

2457-598: The home. A pattern which they also associate as Peranakan Chinese , nonetheless they are culturally different in some ways from the Strait-Chinese Peranakan of Malacca, Penang and Singapore or even the Indonesian Peranakans. The Cina Kampung in Kelantan have native speaker competence in the Kelantanese dialect. It is impossible to tell a Malay from a Chinese here just by listening to their speech in

2520-663: The impression of two identical vowels interrupted by the laryngeals. A typical Aslian vowel system is displayed by Northern Temiar , which has 30 vocalic nuclei. The functional load of the nasal/oral contrast is not very high in Aslian languages (not many minimal pairs can be cited). Diffloth states that this phenomenon is unpredictable and irregular in Semai dialects, especially on vowels preceded by h - or ʔ -. Phonemic vowel length has been retained in Senoic languages such as Semai , Temiar and Sabum . Contrastive length has been lost in

2583-583: The issue, in Schedule 9, List I of the Federal Constitution, the following topics are assigned to the Federal Government: As for the state government: From the schedule, Peninsular Malaysian states have the constitutional right to set fees for permits and licences for extraction of any petroleum that is derived from their land and territorial waters. Anything beyond territorial waters, such as on

2646-439: The local government in defiance of the central government includes the group Kelantan Peoples' Movement Demanding Petroleum Royalties or Gerakan Menuntut Royalti Petroleum Rakyat Kelantan (GMR). The largely rural state preserves Malay traditions such as kite-flying contests, top-spinning contests, and bird singing competitions, and traditional handicrafts such as batik , songket , and silver crafts. Kelantan's ethnic composition

2709-453: The matter cannot end with the two agreements. There is a supreme Constitution in Malaysia with a federal-state division of legislative and financial powers. The constitutional allocation cannot be altered except by constitutionally permitted procedures and amendments. Even mutual agreements cannot override the constitutional scheme of things because jurisdiction is a matter of law and not of consent or acquiescence. The Kelantan state government

2772-687: The modern Kelantan state, centered in his new fort on the eastern bank of the Kelantan river , which became Kota Bharu in 1844. Under the terms of the Anglo-Siamese Treaty of 1909 , the Thais relinquished their claims over Kelantan, Terengganu, Kedah and Perlis to the British Empire , and Kelantan thus became one of the Unfederated Malay States with a British Adviser . Kelantan was where

2835-466: The mountain range within 8 hours. Kelantan has a tropical climate , with temperatures from 21 to 32 °C and intermittent rain throughout the year. The wet season is the east-coast monsoon season from November to January. Some experts claim groundwater extraction is causing land in Kelantan to lower, causing more floods. Kelantan has a chiefly agrarian economy dominated by rice , rubber and tobacco . Fishing along its 96-kilometre coastline

2898-589: The name comes from the Malay word kilatan , "shiny or glittery" or kolam tanah , "clay pool". Kelantan was called Kalantan ( Thai : กลันตัน ) by the Siamese when it was under their influence. Kelantan's early history is not very clear, but archaeological evidence shows human settlement in prehistoric times. Early Kelantan had links to the Funan Kingdom, the Khmer Empire , Champa and Siam. Around 1411, there

2961-461: The national government on constitutional grounds. One of the most controversial steps that PAS have taken in Kelantan is to place strict restrictions or outright bans on the traditional performance of syncretic Malay theatrical forms, such as Wayang Kulit, Mak Yong , Dikir Barat , and Main Puteri. PAS also took action to remove any sculpture that looked like human or animal, modified versions without

3024-438: The number of initial consonants in a root. Rising diphthongs like [i̯ə] or [u̯ə] are ambiguous, since the glide may be interpreted as either a feature of the initial or of the vowel. Aslian languages are well endowed with final consonants, with most of the languages placing a lot of stress on them. It has been reported that Temiar - h has bilabial friction after - u -, e.g. /tuh/ 'speak' pronounced as [tuɸ] . Throughout

3087-406: The pre-occlusion. A pre-stopped consonant behaves phonologically as a single consonant. That is, like affricates and trilled affricates , the reasons for considering these sequences to be single consonants lies primarily in their behavior. Phonetically they are similar or equivalent to stops with a nasal or lateral release. There are three terms for this phenomenon. The most common by far

3150-520: The pre-stopped nasals [ᵇm, ɲ, n̪, ᵈn, ɳ] and the pre-stopped laterals [ ʎ, l̪, ᵈl, ɭ] , though these are all in allophonic variation with the simple nasals and laterals [m, ɲ, n̪, n, ɳ, ʎ, l̪, l, ɭ] . Pre-stopped nasals are also found in several branches of Austroasiatic , especially in the North Aslian languages and Shompen , where historical word-final nasals, *m *n *ŋ, have become pre-stopped, or even full voiced stops [b d ɡ] . Hiw of Vanuatu

3213-457: The rest of the country by the Titiwangsa Mountains , which runs from north to south through the peninsula. Weeks of hard travel were required to reach Kelantan. The easiest way to Kelantan was to sail around the peninsula. For this reason Kelantan's history often involves the sea, and boats. Even today, many of its people are tied to the sea. A discussion with many coastal residents will confirm that their ancestors, as far back as they know, were "of

3276-549: The rest of the peninsula; this is reflected in the cuisine, arts and the unique Kelantanese Malay language, which is unintelligible even for some speakers of standard Malay. Kelantan is bordered by Narathiwat province of Thailand to the north, Terengganu to the south-east, Perak to the west and Pahang to the south. To the north-east of Kelantan is the South China Sea . Kelantan has diverse tropical rainforests and an equatorial climate. The state's mountain ranges belong to

3339-428: The sea." A railway line was built in the 1920s, during British colonial rule , linking Tumpat on the state's northern coast, through the jungles of upper Kelantan and Pahang and then on to other states. Also, between the 1920s and 1980s, trunk roads were built to link Kelantan with adjacent states. Presently, one can travel by road from the capital city Kuala Lumpur to Kota Bharu using national highway 8 through

3402-534: The shallow waters of the South China Sea. From Kuala Krai the conjoined streams become the Kelantan River (also known as Sungai Kelantan), a broad, mud-coloured stream which dominates the fertile coastal plains and defines the geography of the region. The Kelantan River valley is a fertile rice-bowl, rich in hardwoods and rubber and lush with tropical fruits. For centuries, Kelantan was mostly separated from

3465-416: The terms of the agreement, Kelantan was to receive a cash payment of 5 percent a year biannually, for any oil found in Kelantan or its coastal areas. In return, Kelantan grants Petronas to exclusive rights to "petroleum whether lying onshore or offshore of Malaysia". It became an issue as to whether Kelantan had the right to claim oil royalties from federal government as described in the agreement. Relevant to

Long Yunus was succeeded in 1795 by his son-in-law Tengku Muhammad by Sultan Mansur of Terengganu. The enthronement of Tengku Muhammad by Terengganu was opposed by Long Yunus' sons, triggering a war against Terengganu by Long Muhammad,

3591-416: The traditional pastimes of top-spinning — known as gasing — and the flying of giant, elaborately decorated kites called wau , is still observed. The minority ethnic Malaysian Siamese inhabitants of Kelantan are mostly centred around the coastal town of Tumpat , which is home to most of the state's two hundred or so Buddhist temples, and has a number of relatively well-off Siamese villages. The dialect of

Also restricted are public performances by women: Aside from Quran recitals, such arrangements are entirely banned if men are in the audience. While PAS has maintained that these steps were to promote Islam and put an end to immoral behavior among

3717-416: Was also noted that the use of the suffix in Aslian languages was a product of recent use of Malay loan words. For example, the use of the infix 'n' is prominent in various Aslian language and it encompasses a myriad of definition. Example: Jah Hut causatives Aslian languages insert infixes between two consonants. Simple infixation is when the infix is inserted into the root. The most important liquid infix

3780-527: Was an islamic ruler named Raja Kumar and Kelantan was an important centre of trade at that time. In 1499, Kelantan became a vassal state of the Malacca Sultanate . With the fall of Malacca in 1511, Kelantan was divided up and ruled by petty chieftains, paying tribute to Patani , then a powerful Malay Kingdom of the eastern peninsula. By the early 17th century, most of these Kelantanese chiefs became subject to Patani . The legendary Cik Siti Wan Kembang

The Queen of Patani was deposed in 1651 by the Raja of Kelantan, starting a period of Kelantanese rule in Patani. Around 1760, Long Yunus, an aristocratic warlord of Patani origin succeeded in unifying
