PREFACE This dictionary endeavors to document the lexicon of the language of the Mah Meri, an indigenous people of the Malay Peninsula. The compilation of this dictionary began in 2000 when I undertook my initial field trip at Bukit Bangkong. As the first attempt to compile a dictionary it is as thorough as our collective effort has permitted, but naturally it is not exhaustive. It represents an important first step in comprehensively recording a language that has resiliently held its ground, particularly in an environment where the community has faced considerable adversity in a century of radical upheaval. The research that has contributed to the compilation of this dictionary was undertaken in two phases, the first when I held a post-doctoral position at the Max-Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Leipzig (1999-2001), and the second during a post-doctoral position with the Hans Rausing Fund for endangered languages, School of Oriental and African Studies, London (20052007). It had been my intention to carry out fieldwork on the well-known Pulau Carey (Carey Island), but I was directed to Bukit Bangkong by Mohamed Sayed Abdullah of the Jabatan Hal Ehwal Orang Asli (JHEOA), who first introduced me to his home village.

Introduction

1. INTRODUCTION 1.1.

Mah Meri speakers and their language

Mah Meri is spoken in isolated pockets dispersed along an 80-krn stretch of the southwestern coast of Selangor, from Kelang the site of the national port, south to the Sepang Besar River (see Map 1). The variety documented here is spoken at Bukit Bangkong, Sungai Pelek, Sepang (Bai]kgk). It is also the variety spoken at Tanjung Sepat, Kuala Langat (K3y) approximately 10 km to the north (see Map 2). Kampung Orang Asli Bukit Bangkong is the largest Mah Meri village, with a population of around 500-600 people. The total Mah Meri population for 2003 was approximately 2,896 (JHEOA website). Colonial records suggest that Mah Meri was once spoken further south along the coast of the adjoining states of Negeri Sembilan, Melaka, and Johor, in areas that are now exclusively Malay speaking. Ethnohistorical records describe how the Mah Meri apparently moved north precipitated by the advance of Malays from the south until they found relative refuge in the sparsely populated lowland peat forests and mangroves of this coastal area (Nowak and Singan 2004). The ethnohistorical account of the settlement of Bukit Bangkong relates how the Mah Meri arrived at their present settlement when their ship, which was on a voyage for the Sultan of Melaka (Malacca), foundered on S_qk bai]kQk (hill bangkong1) 'Bukit Bangkong' (see Map 2), a striking limestone outcrop in an otherwise flat coastal landscape. They disembarked, and have remained there ever since. Mah Meri, along with Semelai, Semaq Beri, and Temoq, comprises the Southern division of Aslian (Benjamin 1976, Diffloth 1975), a branch of the Mon-Khmer family spoken in the Malay Peninsula and southern Thailand (see Fig. 1). Significantly, Mah Meri is the only Aslian language spoken in a coastal area, and represents the southernmost known Aslian speaking group today, and as far as is known, the southernmost extent not only of Mon-Khmer, but the entire Austroasiatic phylum.

Although remote geographically with respect to related Southern languages, Mah Meri is probably not a linguistic outlier as suggested by Benjamin (1976: 95). It has undergone significant diversification as a result of isolation from its sister languages and contact with Austronesian (Dunn et al.). Mah Meri speakers have no contact with other Aslian speakers. The Mah Meri have no ethnonym as such and simply refer to themselves collectively as hma'l he (person lPL) 'our people', distinguishing amongst each other with their respective locations, e.g., hma'l k5y (person Tanjung Sepat) 'Mah Meri person from Tanjung Sepat'. The exonym Mah Meri, a rendering of the Malay Orang Hutan (person jungle), is the name adopted administratively in the 1950s by the newly formed Department of Aboriginal Affairs. It has become the name by which the mainland communities at Bukit Bangkong (and neighboring Tanjung Sepat) identify themselves to outsiders, but it is also a generic term for an indigenous person (see also Carey 1973: 186, Wazir 1981: 13, Reita 2007: 7-8). For the sake of conformity Mah Meri is used here, in the received orthography, but note that the phonemic rendering of the name is f!Jii? m;;~ri [ Il}li? m b;Jri:]. 2

Introduction In ethnographic writing, the Mah Meri have also been identified as Orang Laut (Bellamy 1895), Besisi (Sejarah Melayu Malay Annals), Skeat (1896), Skeat and Blagden (1906), Satkuna Mathur (1986), Ma' Betisek (Wazir 1981), and Hma' Btsisi' (Nowak 1985, 1987), the last two used in particular with reference to communities on Pulau Carey (Carey Island). The community at Bukit Bangkong does not identify with the ethnonym Besisi or any of its variants. However, one community elder explained that Besisi was the name of their language, confirming Bellamy (1895: 226) and Evans (1913). Evans referred to the group, with whom he spent ten days, as the Orang Sabat, the name the Mah Meri gave him. Sabat or sahabat, which actually means 'friend' in Malay, is to this day used by neighboring Malays as a pejorative term for the Mah Meri. The accompanying wordlist clearly identifies the group as Mah Meri. Evans noted that although they gave their ethnonym as Orang Sabat, their language they called sisi. The earliest mention of the name Besisi is found in the Sejarah Melayu or Malay Annals (Shellabear 1896), an historical account of the Malacca sultanate written in the 15th or 16th century. Besisi is not an indigenous word, and probably comes from Malay sisi meaning 'edge', in reference to their coastal location, possibly in contrast to the inland location of the Temuan (Lye 2001: 211, Nowak and Singan 2004: 304, fnl). The exonym was most likely bestowed either by Malays or the aforementioned Tcmuans, a Malay-speaking indigenous group. One of my consultants believed that the name had been given by the neighboring Temuan, who, she said, are the 'inland' Besisi, but who do not speak Besisi. I have not been able to confirm this with other members of the community. For discussions of alternative accounts see Satkuna ( 1986: fns 2 & 3) and Wazir (1981: 13-14). The earliest ethnographic accounts of the 'Besisi' were published in the Selangor Journal in the mid 1890s by Bellarny (1895) and Skeat (1897). Bellamy's article was originally written nine years earlier in 1886. The most notable linguistic publication of this period was a list of around 400 vocabulary items recorded in a careful transcription, along with Malay translations, by Waiter William Skeat (1896). Skeat was the acting District Officer of Ulu Langat, who later became the co-author of the outstanding two-volume Pagan Races of the Malay Peninsula (1906), a digest of all that was known of the Orang Asli at the time. He took a keen interest in the indigenous peoples and recorded copious materials relating to Mah Meri language and literature, material culture, and mode of existence. The original article was published without a commentary and did not reveal the location from where the material was collected; however, later in the 1906 publication it is attributed to Sepang and Ayer !tarn in the Kuala Langat area. The 1906 publication contained extensive materials Skeat collected from the Sepang area, and more specifically

Introduction from the Sepang Kechil (Little Sepang) Besisi. This is the area where the present-day village ofBukit Bangkong is located. As late as the I 880s the state of Selangor was still unexplored, with only the areas around Kelang and Kuala Lumpur having been visited by Europeans (Skeat and Blagden 1906: Vol. 11, 489). The Mah Meri lived in scattered swiddens in the lowland coastal forest, behind the dense mangroves that blanketed the coastline. They traveled by dugout canoe 2 down the Little Sepang (Sepang Kecil) River to exploit the tidal mangrove creeks and the shoreline. They planted their swiddens with rice, bananas, sweet potatoes, and tobacco, hunted for game using blowpipes and traps, and traded forest produce for cloth, salt, and knives. Once the Europeans held influence, change rapidly followed. By the turn of the 20th century, the logging of the forests had commenced, Skeat himself noting that the Besisi were being employed by the British to fell trees for plantations. Evans (1913: 1-14) upon visiting the area in 1912, like Bellamy before him in 1886 (1895: 230) noted the rapid encroachment of civilization and the effects it was having. Evans spent ten days with the Bcsisi at Tamboh (Malay Tembuk, Mah Meri t;Jmbo7) and recorded physical and ethnographic details. Although still practising a largely traditional lifestyle, he noted that they were being "affected by the advance of civilization" (Evans 1913: 2), wore Malay-style clothes rather than bark cloth, and were able to ride bicycles. They rarely used their blowpipes, as the deforestation had made the tree from which the poison was derived difficult to find. Most were still engaged in shifting cultivation and growing rice, but some men were working as tree-fellers in a nearby British plantation, with the local Chinese shopkeepers acting as intermediaries and controlling the labor market. This was the last account we have of the Mah Meri in the Sepang area until Carey's article based on research at Bukit Bangkong and Tanjung Sepat in 1971 (Carey 1973: 185-194), followed by Mathur's (Ayampillay) 1976 article on Tanjung Sepat. In the sixty years that had passed, the Mah Meri had transformed from shifting agriculturalists to smallholders growing coffee. Their previous area had largely been taken over by a mix of large-scale, colonial plantations, and Javanese and Chinese settlers growing cash crops on smallholdings. Most of the Mah Meri were now resident in the new Orang Ash village of Bukit Bangkong.

2

There is no recollection of their people ever having made dug-out canoes, nor of the name chemplong by which they were called (Skeat and Blagden 1906: Vol. 11, 1: 390.) 4

Introduction Today Kampung Orang Asli Bukit Bangkong is located in a setting typical of rural coastal Malaysia: small villages and service towns interspersed among palm oil smallholdings and large palm oil plantations, hosting a multiracial, multilinguistic society of immigrant populations of Javanese, and various ethnic Chinese and southern Indians. The peat forests and mangroves where the Mah Meri once dwelt are all but gone, the mangroves in particular having been ravaged last century by the charcoal burning industry, and the harvesting of mangrove timber for the construction industry. The village consists of houses strung out along a main road, a meeting hall, school, kindergarten, small general store and coffee shop, and a cemetery. The original settlement was located in the area around capaiJ and darat, behind the hill, and this is where a number of the population still have land. It is also the site of the old cemetery (k:Jmuc nale7), as shown in Map 3. Some elder members of the population still eke out a living as shoreline foragers, collecting edible shellfish, or fishing, but stocks are severely depleted, and many varieties of shellfish are no longer found. Older people rely on their small palm oil smallholdings, but the increasing shortage of land as the population increases means many people, especially the young, arc now employed in the mainstream economy with the majority working as unskilled laborers in the rural sector, or as factory workers, or cleaners at the nearby international airport and Formula One racing track. Although the majority of the population remain animist, most of the customary law is no longer adhered to and people are increasingly converting to Islam and evangelical Christianity. Traditional ceremonies and rituals are no longer practised; for example, with all of their durian orchards gone, the durian festival has been abandoned and the marriage ceremony is now almost exclusively based on Malay practice. A few families still observe the ?aU[e? moyaiJ, an ancestor worship day that falls on June 6th each year, with a small feast and the erection of an ancestor altar or paJ)ga. Mah Meri is still the first language acquired by children, and most are monolingual when they enter preschool at the age of four; however, it is increasingly common among young men to speak Malay with their peers. The first schools were set up in the 1950s, and all children attend the primary school in the village. They move to a nearby multiracial secondary school, but the majority of the Mah Meri students leave by the end of the second year. All speakers are bilingual in the national language Malay (Bahasa Melayu), although there is considerable variation in degree of fluency. Women in particular express the opinion that they do not have a good knowledge of Malay. This was often evident when even quite competent speakers had difficulty

Introduction providing definitions and translations in the national language. Malay, or more precisely a koine variety, is the lingua franca in all communication with people other than Mah Meri. The change in physical environment and the necessary adaptations in modes of subsistence have resulted in significant lexical erosion in areas of traditional technologies, flora and fauna, and esoteric/cosmological knowledge. The introduction of lexical items related to new modes of existence, in conjunction with the attrition due to the aforementioned cultural and environmental change, has disproportionately inflated the number of Malay loanwords. Examining historical records, of the approximately 400 words in Skeat's wordlist (1986), three quarters are still in use today. There were already numerous Malay loan words, some naming introduced objects (cooking pot, pillow, water jar, sweet potato), but others were for more familiar concepts (twig, narrow, weave, feather, forehead). The Mah Meri have had a long association with outsiders, and the lingua franca was Malay. According to Bellamy (1895) the Mah Meri and their neighbors the Temuan conversed in Malay. There were also relations with groups from Sumatra, according to ethnohistorical accounts. While some were friendly, others involved battles, one taking place at Sungai Rawang (do g:mde'l1aw.*, see Map 2).

Organization of the dictionary

The dictionary is organized into two sections, the main body of Mah Meri English- Malay entries, and the two finderlists, English- Mah Meri, and Malay -Mah Meri.

1.2.1.

Orthography

Mah Meri is an unwritten language and lacks a practical orthography. The advent of mobile phone technology and text messaging has created a domain for writing the language, and individuals have their own method of representing it, usually based on their knowledge of the Malay writing system. The recognized shortcoming of this method is that the Malay orthography lacks the means of adequate representation; however, speakers feel that in context it is possible to determine the correct reading. There is otherwise no application for a practical orthography as there is no other domain for use of the written form. The approach taken here is simply to employ the phonemic transcription (see below) with some minor modifications for the consonants, as presented in the following table. The vowels are represented as in § 1.2.1.1 below.
