Abstract
Banjarese is a language spoken by an ethnic group ca 11 ed Banjar.
They live along the coast of south, south-east, and in the interior
of South Kalimantan (Borneo), Indonesia. Banjarese belongs to the
Western Austronesian 1 anguage family. This 1 anguage is bordering
with languages such as Ngaju to the west, Maanyan and Lawangan to the
north and north-west, Bajau to the south-east, and Sampit to the
south-west. Because of close cultural and trade relations between
Banjarese people and the speakers of those languages, Banjarese
spread into these different language areas. Particularly in the
towns and cities in these areas, Banjarese is spoken as a lingua
franca between people speaking different languages, for example,
between the speakers of Banjarese and Ngaju, or speakers of Maan ya n
and Ngaju. Before World War II Banjarese people were reknowned for
their patterns of migration. A great number of Banj arese peop 1 e
migrated to East Kalimantan. Not surprisingly in this area Banjarese
is also spoken as a language for communication. A group of Banjarese
emigrated as far as Sapat and Tembilahan in Riau, Sumatera. In these
pl aces they formed pockets of Banjarese speakers amongst Riau Malay
speakers.
