| Title: | Challenges and Prospect of Maintaining Rongga: an Ethnographic Report |
| Authors: | Arka, I Wayan |
| Keywords: | Language
Rongga, |
| Issue Date: | 20-Oct-2005 |
| Abstract: | Changes in the ‘ecology of languages’ after the independence of Indonesia have resulted
in changes in the social, cultural and economic settings. These changes in turn have
affected the well-being of indigenous languages and cultures right across the Indonesian
archipelago. This has particularly been the case in the last thirty years under the harsh
campaign of Indonesianisation through the rhetoric of pembangunan (development) in the
New Order era of Soeharto’s regime. Smaller indigenous languages such as Rongga, a
minority language on the island of Flores, are particularly vulnerable. |
