Pahang Malay ( Standard Malay : Bahasa Melayu Pahang ; Jawi : بهاس ملايو ڤهڠ ) is a Malayic language spoken in the Malaysian state of Pahang . It is regarded as the dominant Malay dialect spoken along the vast riverine systems of Pahang, but co-exists with other Malay dialects traditionally spoken in the state. Along the coastline of Pahang, Terengganu Malay is spoken in a narrow strip of sometimes discontiguous fishing villages and towns. Another dialect spoken in Tioman island is a distinct Malay variant and most closely related to Riau Archipelago Malay subdialect spoken in Natuna and Anambas islands in the South China Sea , together forming a dialect continuum between the Bornean Malay and the Mainland Peninsular / Sumatran Malay.
59-532: Nonetheless, the essential unity of Pahang and Terengganu Malay is demonstrated by the number of shared lexical, syntactic, and phonetics innovations. Both varieties, along with Kelantan Malay , have been classified under the subgroup of the East Coast dialect of the Malay Peninsula , due to their possible common origin. Pahang Malay is known for its sharp rise and fall of tone and quick flowing accent. It exhibits

Example: tinggal ('left') becomes tingga ; tebal ('thick') becomes teba . Usually /l/ as in /lah/ is removed and becomes /ah/ . Example: Banyaklah ('so many') becomes banyok ah . Bulang ('moon') vs. bːulang ('many months'); katok ('to strike') vs. kːatok ('frog'); siku ('elbow') vs. sːiku ('hand tool') Several comparisons between Standard Malay and Terengganu Malay with English translations: Starang baroh means 'really',
236-729: A mostly Thai-speaking population of mixed Malay and Thai ancestry. Kelantan-Pattani Malay is highly divergent from other Malay varieties because of its geographical isolation from the rest of the Malay world by high mountains, deep rainforests and the Gulf of Thailand . It is also influenced by Thai in Thailand. Kelantanese-Pattani Malay is distinct enough that radio broadcasts in Standard Malay cannot be understood easily by native speakers of Kelantan-Pattani Malay, such as those in Thailand, who are not taught

354-444: A number of differences from the Standard Malay , particularly in phonology and vocabulary. Even though it shares many similarities with standard Malay, the dialect in its purest form remains unintelligible to standard Malay speakers. There are a number of sub-dialects of Pahang Malay identified by linguists, but the form spoken in the vicinity of Pahang's royal capital , Pekan , is considered as its 'standard sub-dialect'. The dialect

Example: Ambe dok tau starang baroh , as opposed to Standard Malay or West coast Malay dialects: Saya memang tak tahu langsung. Another famous Terengganuan Malay phrase is Senyung sokmo which means Senyum selalu in standard Malay and 'Smile always' in English. It is widely used by Terengganu people to wish other people well and to brighten their days. Dokrok cettong denotes two situations whereby one
472-415: A second language among the smaller Indian minority. The language has developed distinct phonetic , syntactic and lexical distinctions which makes it mutually unintelligible for speakers from outside the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia, especially those who speak Standard Malay/Malaysian. Terengganu Malay still shares close linguistic ties with neighboring Kelantan and Pahang of which it forms under
531-472: A set of stress rules that is quite different to that of Standard Malay. Generally, in Kelantan-Pattani Malay, the primary stress falls on the last syllable if the word starts with a single consonant. However, in words with more than one syllable, syllables with a schwa /ə/ are unstressed. Syllables that do not have the schwa and are not in the word-final position take the secondary stress. If

A variety spoken in the village of Tanjung Sedili in the district of Kota Tinggi is said to be a mixture of Terengganuan, Johorean and several other Malay varieties, reflecting the historical demographics of the area, which once received Malay migrants from Terengganu. Terengganu Malay has two major dialects: Coastal (zlm-coa) and Inland (zlm-inl) and each of these two dialects has several regional differences depending on districts or villages. The dialect spoken in Kuala Terengganu district
885-428: Is alternatively known as bahasa Melayu Pahang or dialek Pahang . The term Pahang itself originated from the name of the state which in turn derived from the name of Pahang River , where the early civilisation in the state could have developed from. There have been many theories on the origin of the name Pahang. Local lore states that it is derived from the corruption of the name Mahang tree ( Macaranga ). On

Although this feature is shared among all sub-dialects of Pahang, there are still different vowel realisation patterns found among those variants. These varied patterns are demonstrated in the following tables. The Standard Malay alveolar trill /-r/ , at the end of words, is usually omitted in most Malay dialects. But

Other scholars like Collins and Tarmizi Harsah provided an alternative method in this dialectal study, focusing on the geographic units of river basins and coastal strips, rather than on the existing political boundaries. This is based on the fact that the spread of these sub-dialects
1121-429: Is based on the study of a variant spoken in Ulu Tembeling, also known locally as cakap ulu ('the upstream speech') or base lama ('the old language'). Although it retains part of the general characteristics of Pahang Malay, the dialect of Ulu Tembeling has the special feature of consonantal diphthongisation at the end of words, which is one of its kind among Malay dialects of the peninsula. Another unique feature of

Differences include some differences in vocabulary, and different sound correspondences. The influence of Southern Thai and the Kelantan-Pattani Malay in Pattani upon each other is great, and both have large numbers of loanwords from the other. The influence of the Thai language makes comprehension between

#17328556315461298-405: Is in stark contrast to the rest of the general population of Malay speakers in both Malaysia and Indonesia that now mainly use the Latin script, known in Malay as rumi ( رومي ), for daily communication. Today, Pattani Malay is generally not a written language , though it is sometimes written in informal settings. An old-fashioned form of standard Malay is used when writing is needed rather than
1357-615: Is independent of the political divisions of current Malaysian states. On the other hand, both river basins and coastal strips are the features of topography that have greatly shaped the earliest patterns of migration and settlement in the Malay world of Southeast Asia. Based on this, Tarmizi Harsah identified three main variants of Pahang Malay, spoken along the lining of three main rivers of Pahang; Pahang River , Jelai River and Lipis River . He classified these variants further into two main sub-dialects, Hulu Pahang ('Upper Pahang') consisting of

Besides Tranung, Tranu , Ganung , Teganung , Teganu and Ganu are also used with the latter (Ganu) being used as an exonym by people outside of Terengganu when referring to Terengganu. Terengganu Malay is natively spoken in most parts of Terengganu other than Besut and the northern part of Setiu . Besides Terengganu, it

Ibrahim Taib , a famous Terengganu poet was known for his usage of Inland Terengganu dialect in his poems such as " Mok, Aku Nok Tubaik " ('Mom, I want to get out') and " Jadilah Awang " ('Enough Awang'). Terengganu has a rich history of folk songs sung mostly in Terengganu Malay, among those are Anok Udang , Anok Burung Baniong , Ulek Mayang and Watimang Landok . Besides traditional folk songs, Terengganu Malay has also made way into modern contemporary songs especially singers or bands who were born and raised in Terengganu. Among

1888-410: The standard variety of the language . Unlike Malaysia, where Standard Malay is compulsory in the school curriculum, no one is required to learn Standard Malay in Thailand and so there is potentially less language influence from Standard Malay but potentially more from Thai .

In general, like many other dialects of Malay language, the differences between Pahang Malay and the Standard Malay are recognized through changes in phonology at the end of the words. The unique identity of Pahang Malay can be traced in three features of phonology; vowels before consonant [± coronal], alveolar trill and diphthongs /-ai̯/ and /-au̯/ .

This does not means that there are no diphthongs in the dialect at all. Pahang Malay acquired its diphthongs through the diphthongisation of monophthongs ; for example, the vowel sounds /-i/ and /-u/ are diphthongised into [-ij] and [-uw] . This phenomenon

This complicated spatial layering of different Malay variants, often within a few kilometres' radius between hamlets of Pahang Malay speakers along the riverine systems and the Terengganu-speaking coastal fishermen villages, is influenced by the historical movement of Terengganu Malays to that area. For centuries, the coastal line stretching from Terengganu border to the Endau of Johor,

However, Tarmizi's theory went against the commonly accepted Malay settlement patterns which began at the river mouth and coastal areas before dispersing inland.

This can be seen in many local television dramas, movies, songs, poems and religious sermons which emphasize the usage of Terengganu Malay.
