Sikap dan Persepsi Penutur Dialek Melayu Satun dalam Pengekalan Bahasa Ibund (Attitudes and Perceptions of Satun Malay Speaker in Maintenance of Their Mother Tongue)
Abstract
ABSTRAK: Makalah ini bertujuan untuk meneliti sikap dan persepsi penutur Melayu Satun terhadap bahasa ibunda mereka sendiri, iaitu dialek Melayu Satun dan mengaitkan dengan vitaliti bahasa. Data diperoleh melalui soal selidik ke atas 121 orang responden. Responden terdiri daripada tiga golongan umur, iaitu golongan tua, dewasa dan remaja di tiga kampung dari mukim yang berbeza: mukim Che Bilang, mukim Ban Khuan dan mukim Tam Malang. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa penutur Melayu Satun pada semua peringkat umur bersikap positif terhadap dialek Melayu Satun. Golongan tua bersikap lebih positif berbanding golongan dewasa dan golongan remaja. Manakala sikap dan persepsi terhadap DMS dalam golongan remaja kurang positif. Hal ini akan menyebabkan berlaku peralihan bahasa secara perlahan-lahan kepada bahasa yang lebih dominan iaitu bahasa Thai Standard. Maka usaha dan sokongan daripada semua pihak diperlukan untuk mengekalkan dialek Melayu Satun. Ini kerana kemampuan rakyat yang bertutur dalam dwibahasa dan multi bahasa adalah sebagai aset negara yang menunjukkan sesebuah negara itu kaya dengan warisan, budaya dan bahasa.
Kata kunci: Sikap; persepsi; dialek Melayu Satun; bahasa Thai Standard; vitaliti bahasa; pengekalan bahasa
ABSTRACT: This paper aims to examine the attitude and perception of Satun Malay speakers towards their language, namely the Satun Malay dialect. Data was obtained through a questionnaire of 121 respondents. The respondents consisted of three age groups: the elderly, adults and teenagers in three villages from different sub-districts: Che Bilang sub-district, Ban Khuan sub-district and Tam Malang sub-district. The study’s findings show that Satun Malay speakers have a positive attitude towards their language, Satun Malay dialect. The elderly are more optimistic than adults and teenagers. In contrast, teenagers’ attitude and perception towards DMS is less optimistic. Therefore, it may cause a gradual shift in the language to the more dominant language, which is Standard Thai. Therefore, efforts and support from all parties are needed to maintain Satun’s Malay dialect. The people who can speak bilingual or multilingual as a national asset show rich heritage culture and language.
Keywords: Attitude; perception; Satun Malay dialect; Standard Thai language; language vitality; language maintenance
