Types of Dialect in Indonesia
According to Anastasia (2023), there are three categories of dialect.[1]
Local languages used outside the original region
This dialect is the result of adaptation to a specific area for a long period of time. The most influential factors are time and location. For example, local languages spoken in the capital city of Jakarta is different from the original version as it is affected by living conditions in Jakarta.
National languages influenced by the local region
A national language will develop a different dialect in each area as it is affected by the cultural roots of each region. The usage of words, pronunciation and other linguistic elements also differ as they have distinct backgrounds.
Social dialects
This type of dialect is associated with certain communities, ranging from age groups, professional affiliations and more. It displays the characteristics of a particular community.
