'gambaq' ka 'gambag'?
is it 'gambaq' or 'gambag'?

Hampir keseluruhan orang utara menggunakan huruf 'q' untuk perkataan-perkataan yang berakhir dengan huruf 'r' dalam loghat utara. Permasalahannya ini mengelirukan orang-orang bukan Utara untuk menyebut perkataan-perkataan ini. Banyak kali saya terdengar orang-orang bukan utara tersilap menyebut perketaan-perkataan ini dengan menyebut akhiran nya seperti huruf 'qaf' ataupun 'hamzah'.
Almost all Northerners used letter 'q' for words ending with 'r' in northern dialect. The problem is that, it's confusing the non-Northerners to pronounce this words. On many occasions, I've heard the Non-Northerners mispronounce these words with ending that sounds either like letter 'qaf' or 'hamzah'.

Sebenarnya akhiran perkataan-perkataan ini mestilah bunyi seperti huruf 'ain' mati. Dan sebahagian kecil orang-orang Penang (seperti saya) pada akhiran perkataan-perkataan tersebut mengakhirkannya dengan huruf 'ga' cth "gambag".
Actually, the ending of these kind of words must be pronounced as a dead 'ain'. And some Penangites (like myself) pronounce the ending of these words with letter 'ga', eg. "gambag".

This is interesting.....

for nah and noh particles the sample of sentences are:

hang pa mai isok la noh

please you come tomorrow ok.

dok sat nah, minah pi buat ayaq.

have a sit please, I'll be back with the drinks.

nah or noh are used as the confirmation in a sentence. It is difficult to decide whether we should use nah or noh in a sentence :blind::blind: Practice by listening and speaking are among the way.

I see, although i studied for two years in Penang i never notice the difference between Kedah dialect and Penang one... I sometime do not understand Penangites speaking maybe because the tune or the sound :hiding: My friends from Penang also complain about they couldn't understand Kedah's slang.

For Kedahan our dialects varied from the village to others. We also have a standard Kedah one which is called Jati Kedah. This one is well understood by people frm other part of Malaysia and unifying the Kedahans whether they are from Thai or Indian descendent, from Kota Setar or from Baling. Nothern dialect has so many variations from Perlis to Taiping in Perak.

Actually in Thai script Noh and Nah is spelled the same way, but the sound differ according to the sentences and depends on the speaker to choose it spontaneously. This expression is used the same way in Thai and Kedahan in the northern part :)

Why Penangite Malay is a lil bit different from Kedahan Malay?

That's what happened when non Kedahan speak Kedahan Malay.

:sl:

At first I also thought that northern dialects were all the same, but I notice the differences when I come into contact with other northerners in Penang. Northern dialect varies according to which part of area the people speaking it.

The difference maybe in the term of slang and words I think. I heard my friends from Penang Island utter the word such as baru and rumah in a bit formal sound for the 'r' sound while most Kedahan used to utter ghomah or ghuwmah. Ghomah is uttered in central and southern part of Kedah while ghuwmah kind of pronunciation is uttered in northern Kedah and Perlis. Eventhough I'm living and raised in KL but I'm speaking in Kedah dialect with northern part pronunciation at home, closer to Perlis sound because my mother is from Perlis. She trained us to speak in native dialect as the way to preserve our identity like Kelantanese had done to their child outside their state. My father is a Kedahan from Kodiang but he speaks in standard Kedahan dialect because he was educated in Alor Setar when he was young. Last time my friends from Penang complains about we Kedahan speak too fast and they couldn't grab what are we talking about and that confused me :?

Kedah words itself sometimes can vary from a district to another. Such as the word damuih is used in Perlis and Baling means dirty. Other word used by Kedahan is belemoih and kotoq, this one is in a bit gros meaning. Some people in northern Kedah tend to mix Thai words into Malay such as tua boran for extremely old :phew

For the sound, Penang dialect in the island is a bit rhythmatic. Maybe it is influenced by the Indian tune, I tried to imitate Penangites speak but to no avail beacause it has its own unique feature which is a bit different from Kedah one and people still can notice that I am not from Penang :phew. This is only my limited opinion through my observation while talking with friends from various parts of Kedah, northern Perak and Penang Island. I think that it is interesting to know the words used in various parts of northern area, it is a good way to expand our vocabulary and we can use it again in our daily life isn't it?

I've tried to speak in Kedahan dialect, but after few words... I was speaking in my Penangite dialect...:exhausted it's hard for Penangite to speak Kedahan and vice versa.

I've got lots of Kedahan friends, thus I understand lots of Kedahan words like "gerek" (bicycle), "kueh pek nga" (pancake), "menyerok" (having breakfast) etc.

We, Penangites use lots of "r" instead of "gh".....

Penangite dialect have sub-dialects like Tanjung, Sungai Pinang, Balik Pulau etc

For example: Twenty cents

Bahasa Malaysia: Dua Puluh Sen
Kedahan Dialect: Dua Kupang
Penangite Dialect (Tanjung): Dow Kupang
Penangite Dialect (Sg. Pinang): Dow Upang
Penangite Dialect (Balik Pulau): Dua Kupiang

Penangite Dialect (Sg. Pinang): Dow Upang
Penangite Dialect (Balik Pulau): Dua Kupiang

I think the Balik Pulau sub-dialect sound is a bit closer to Kedah sub-dialect spoken in my house for the Kupiang. For Dua Kupang, we used to utter it as Lo Kupiang or Rou Kupiang at home, sometimes becomes Ro Kupam or Ro Pam. D becomes L or R for Dua.

Wow, never know that there are words like menyerok and kueh pek nga, that really expands my vocabulary :thumbs_up I use to say makan pagi phrase for breakfast.

How about the 'g' in the words such as kambing (goat) and gunting (scissor) in Penang dialect? Most of my friends living in Kedah who are the young generations pronouncing it the same as the standard Malay. For me, my parents still stick to the original or maybe old style of pronunciation which are kambin and guntin without 'g'.

I thought that Kedahan still stick to this pronunciation but it is a bit wrong. Other friends from Baling and Northern Perak also stick to this old style of pronunciation without 'g', only some younger generations use the standard pronunciation. Maybe influenced by standard Malay in national education system.

My friend from Jitra taught me words such as Cheng (playing truant) probably from tortching and Toa with nasalized 'a' sound for materials used to copy or cheating in the exam.

I've heard lots of Kedahans silenced their "g", ie. "kambin", "kunin", "guntin", "dagin"

We Penangites do pronounce the "g".

I pronounce my "Dua Kupang" as "Dow Upang".

My Penangite dialect is a lil bit different than the actual Penangite dialect, but Penangites could still accept it...

My pronounciation:

Terima kasih (Thank you) = Tmassey
Main (Play) = Min
Laut (Sea) = Lowt
Lauk (Dishes) = Lowk
Sauh (Anchor) = Sowh
Teh Ais (Ice Tea) = Tay-eys

Your pronunciation is almost the same like us at home although there is a minor difference, I think Kedahan like to cut almost everything as simple as we can. I notice it in the way of my grandparents talk in Malay, not counting their rough Thai :D

My pronounciation at home:

Terima kasih (Thank you) = Maseih, Masei
Main (Play) = Men, Meiyn
Laut (Sea) = Lau', my villagers in Perlis say Lai' but I refuse to use this
strange pronunciation, so I stick to the common one
Lauk (Dishes) = Lowk
Sauh (Anchor) = Saow
Teh Ais (Ice Tea) = Tay-aeyh

The way we pronounce "R" sound at the final of words also vary... Southern Malaysians always confuse the way we pronounce the final "R". I saw they made mistakes while watching sitcoms, dramas, and films.

examples

Keropok Lekor (fish cracker) : Ghepouk Lekord, my grandfather's is Pouwk Lekohn
friends from Baling say ghepuk leko
Lapar (hungry) : Lapiaq
Hawar (a kind of curse word, desease) : Hawiaq
Hingar (noisy) : Hingiaq or Hingahk' in Perlis
Seluar : Sel-Warq, SluarQ, Seluard, or Chluard for people with Thai accent :-[

For words that we currently borrow from other languages or dialects, the "R" sounds remain the same when we use it in conversation:

Trojan : Trojan, not Teghojan
Rempit (racing) : Rempit, not ghempeit
Radio : Redio, Radi-O, Ray-di-U not Ghedio
Roman (Idnsian, appearance) : Roman not Ghoman

Some of the words are totally not in my vocabulary, now I know why Penangite look at me strangely when I try to speak the dialect, especially my tune is out of the melody :X Words that are common and understandable by us in Kedah are Ghaplah, Horah, Tarak, Ha, and Merket. Ghaplah is pronounced as Ghoplah and Ha is pronounced like Hoh.

Baiskel is commonly used by younger generations in Kedah, but since I was raised outside Kedah and northern area the words that I use is a bit old fashion. I only have contact with friends and grandparents in the village when visiting my village during Eidulfitri once in a blue moon. I use to say Gerek for bycicle at home.

While Haria, Ushar, and Insat are not common and totally new for me. We use nanti sat for wait a minute, it is rather formal. In informal way we just say sat for wait a minute.

I also heard about a phrase "hangpa jangan dok buat sirru sini" said by Penangites. I do not understand what is that sirru when my first arrival in Penang :D

Satsriakal friend, the language that we typed is a variation of Malay. It is spoken in the northern part of Malaysia :D You can check through google earth the places that using this variation of Malay are Kedah, Pulau Pinang, Perlis, and Northern Perak. This Malay variation is influenced by Arabic, Sanskrit, Tamil, Farsi, English, and Thai.

Most Punjabis here are from India side of Punjab. There are also Punjabis of Thailand and believe me they are very loyal to Pradesh Thailand. Their Thai is superb and much better than any Thai themselves.

My lecterur too is a Sikh Punjabi, he is a lawyer but part-timing in local university. I love to go to his class because he is very generous and always distributing foods and presents :D sometimes I can sleep in the class when he starting to preach advices LOL... He always told us about his travel to India visiting his grandma in Loghat Penang.

Suppose that every person in India is submitted under castes whatever religion they embrace are.

My friend from Thailand too told me that Buddhist Thai people are submitted under caste system. The caste can be identified through their surname, e.g Saenakun [traditionally written as; Senakulo]. Sena (army) and kulo is from old Javanese means slave or assistant. So the person who bears this surname is from Kshatria caste, but the lowest one because their ancestors are the assistants in the army post.

I love you in Penangite dialect is:

Chek suka lah kat hang

pronunciation [cheque sooka lar cut hung], I think so in American kind of spelling, hopefully it is.

Oh, Brahmin suppose to be the caste of Panditas. Knowledge is the power. My grandfather from my father side is from Vaisya caste (setthie). His family is from India but travelling and migrating from places to places and ended up here in Malaysia maybe before 18th century at the time it was called Tanah Melayu or The Malay Land :statisfie

Indian culture is prominent in South East Asian area since the first century AD.

I guess that your ancestors maybe Brahmanas who choose Kshatrians way of living. Is Naik pronounced as Nayak?

My father doesn't have any skill in negotiating business, he is good in fighting and poetry. Well I learn new languages easily by simply listening to people speak or mumbling the sound, many Brahmins in Southern India and Thailand from Suphannaphum [Suwarnabhumi, near northern Malaysia in ancient time] speaks local language fluently which are Malay, Thai, Mon or Khmer with Sanskrit intervention.

I'm not good in Indian languages, but I know several words used in hinduism-buddhism or traditional in Malay and Thai. I use those words when talking with buddhist friends in Thai, and simply change them if talking to muslim like Hindi or Urdu. Maybe I can speak Hindi or Urdu but with upside down grammar and intervened with Pali-Sanskrit :D

The words that Kokdiang people in Kedah use for criminals' appearance is Prashard or Prahchart, specifically the face of the crook :rollseyes I don't know whether this one is originated from Indian language or not. Is this word being used in Penangite too?

One of my uncle name's Bahadur [bahAdoUr]. That means brave in local northern dialect in Kedah.

What do you call Reban Ayam or Hen-House in Penangite dialect?

I call it Lao Ayam at home, some of my friends from Baling district in Kedah called it Ghouk Ayam with a bit nasalized sound when it comes to "m" in Ayam like Terengganu way of pronunciation :omg:

Hey, Baling is a beautiful and tranquilizing place. I visited Baling last three months ago, going to my friend's house in Kampung Pekan Kupang (Kupang Town's Village), many hills there. Tourism spots there in Baling are like Bukit Hijau (Green Hill) and Kolam Air Panas Legong (Legong's Hot spring ponds).

I have watched a movie by local directors who is a Penangite, think that it had been played several times in Malaysian prime TV channels. It is anak Mami The Movie.

Don't you think that the actors and actresses in the movie are a bit over? Because some of them not counting from Southern Malaysia are Kedahans. I suppose that they are struggling in imitating Penangites speak.

I heard many Indian kind of terms such as Nana. How do you use Nana, is it means uncle?

What about Mamak when we go to Muslim Indian stalls or restaurants? Is it also uncle? because term Mami means auntie if I'm not mistaken. I call one of my paternal auntie as Mami, she insists us to call her so. I found that as strange at the time when I am a toddler, we are no Indian or not Penang islanders. Why should we call her like an Indian? until my paternal relatives told us about our Indian ancestry :enough!:

Mami = Auntie
Mamu = Uncle
Nana = "abang" (husband)
Mamak = Indian Muslim

Those mami movies are over-acting. period. Penangites are not that "over" reaction....

But, "Mami Jarum" does exist in every neighbourhood...

I've just coming back from a kenduri (wedding feast) in Penang today. Before I attend the kenduri, I've made a return to northern Kedah my homeland and visiting Perlis. It has been almost 10 years actually I've never been in Alor Setar (Kedah's capital). I notice a lot of changes in Alor Setar, but the old elements in it are still being preserved. Too bad I didn't bring camera with me so that I can snap some shots and present it here for you.

Hey, I remember the word that we use for clumsy situations in the kenduri. It is berceridau.

E.g

Habeh ilang selipard aku dalam berceridau kat kenduri tadi!
What a luck, I've lost my flip flop shoes in the clumsiness of the feast!

One thing that startled me is that, when I asked my friend who live in Jitra (in Kubang Pasu area) through SMS whether he have any idea about this word or not, but he reply me back, "no, never heard about that funny word, where did you get that?" I guess maybe this word is a classic word in Kedahan dialect, because younger generation never heard about this word? Is this word still being used in any other northern dialects?

Hahaha....maybe your cousin's Kedahan dialect is too old fashion.... Never heard about yak? wut's that? I've only heard Kelantanese always say this exclamatory word "Yaaaak!" for example when they almost falling from the place that they are standing on or when their belongings fall from their hand. I think Yaak อยา in Kelantanese is a Thai word... In Kedah it is traditionally uttered as Nya ญา. Means Jangan or Don't. But in Kedah, we never use it together in Malay that we speak :D
