Hi

[@stevensonramsey4594]

I’m from the US but I have been living in Indonesia for over 3 years. Before Indonesia, I used to live in Jordan and studied Arabic throughout college and grad school, so I am quite familiar with both languages. When learning Indonesian it always excites me to come across familiar words from Arabic. Between English and Arabic, I have had a huge advantage learning vocab! Indonesian also has a lot of loan words from Dutch, Portuguese, Sanskrit, and Chinese. I have always thought if you mixed all the languages in the world together, Indonesian would be the result!

[@utaran6078]

U right, Indonesian is indeed a lot like other languages like Tagalog, Malay, Arabic, Dutch, or something else.

[@rais1953]

Or English. Both English and Indonesian have huge numbers of loan words from many other languages and for the same reason: they both developed their vocabularies as successful trading languages.

Pengaruhnya terutama sangat terasa di pulau Jawa, di mana penduduk pulau ini sekarang tidak bisa lagi makan dan minum tanpa teh, tahu, kecap, bakmi, bakso, soto dan sate. Kemudian kata-kata lain adalah yang spesifik berhubungan dengan budaya Tionghoa, misalkan Imlek, hongshui, shio dan sebagainya. Namun dalam bahasa Melayu dialek Betawi yang dipertuturkan di daerah Jakarta dan sekitarnya, kata ganti pertama (gua) dan kedua (lu) berasal dari sebuah bahasa Tionghoa. Selain itu dalam menyebut kata-kata bilangan, yang tidak dimuat di daftar ini, juga banyak dipakai kata-kata Tionghoa.

Being an Indonesian and especially a Muslim myself, Arabic words and phrases have been an inseperable part of my life. From some basic words like, "salam" and "maaf", into some more "religious" phrases like "Ya Allah", "Alhamdulillah", "Astaghfirullah", I don't know why but I've been saying those words involuntarily without actually having to think that those are Arabic, I took them just as some daily Indonesian words, even some of my Non-Muslim friends said "Ya Allah" and "Astaghfirullah" once, in which, I wasn't really surprised due to the obvious reason. Not to mention the Jawi and Pegon script which are basically Arabic script with some newly-modified letters to fit the phonology of Malay and some Indonesian local languages (Like Javanese, Sundanese, Acehnese, or Buginese for example). Like it or not, Arabic has played a big role in the development in both Malay and Indonesian language. And as a learner of Arabic myself, I feel so lucky and glad to be able to recognize many Arabic words without having to memorize them, since I've been exposed to these words through my entire life to this day. سلام من اندونيسيا!

Swahili language was made in the medieval age, as Muslim merchants traded with thea eastern African coast, the trade hubs started meging the various languages of locals and Arabic into making Swahili, a (lingua franka) that was good for trade, and a much better unifying language than the local languages of each village.

Fun Fact: Though almost all of the days of the week in Malay/Indonesian came from their Arabic counterparts, the word for Sunday in Indonesian is "Minggu" from the Portuguese "Domingo" while in Malay it's "Ahad" from Arabic. This is because when the Indonesian language was being formalised they wanted to give representation for the country's Christian communities. Edit: Apparently there a lot of local differences with using Minggu/Ahad. Some Malaysians use Minggu and some Indonesians use Ahad.

[@alvindwisasmara2607]

Tapi kita di Indo juga biasanya sebut Ahad, cuma memang jarang. Biasanya yg banyak pakai kata itu orang2 dari pondok pesantren 😁

[@ibnurofik7862]

@@alvindwisasmara2607 sebenarnya Ahad malahan baku dibanding Minggu

[@yeyu8521]

from a malaysian perspective: in sabah, the word minggu and ahad is used interchangebly, but formally, minggu is used to describe a duration of a week, and that's why hujung minggu is weekend.

[@dirayaakbar]

soalnya "minggu" bisa jadi marking... seminggu, dua minggu, dst jadi lebih enak nyebut minggu karena seperti batas waktu.... kalau ahad, yaa hari ahad saja tidak jadi seahad

[@drakl0r]

The word "Minggu" is common in the Malaysian state of Sabah too. We rarely use "Ahad".

YES, As an Arabic native speaker i was surprised to know that Arabic has that influence at malay nad Indonesian language

[@realtalk6195]

How is it a surprise?? It confuses me every single time there's these videos and commentors act surprised. Arabic being the language of the Quran by default means that any region or people that has a significant Muslim population will automatically have Arabic loanwords. Because various philosophical and Islamic concepts are represented by use of Arabic, and therefore Arabic and Semitic by default enters the language. It's the same reason most languages in Europe and the Mediterranean (and ultimately the whole world) has Greek words because Ancient Greek scholars were developed and did a lot of writing and philosophy. So when others conquered them (Romans) or adopted those teaching or concepts, they automatically adopted those words.

As a native Turkish speaker, like 95% of these words are in daily Turkish language too. For many of them, we have synonyms. For example, "sebep" and "neden" both mean "reason". Sebep is borrowed from Arabic, neden is from old Turkish (spoken in Middle Asia). Interestingly, people use both of them, and the frequency is almost 50/50.

What I know as an Indonesian myself is that the generic word for "god/deity" in Indonesian and Malay is "tuhan", and in the singular sense it became "Tuhan" (God) with a capital t just like in the phrase "Tuhan yg Esa" which means "The One God", the name "Allah" in Indonesian is used by the christians and muslims as the name for God in abrahamic religions, but christians and muslims use the name Allah in a different way, in the Indonesian translation of the Bible, "Allah" is the translation of "Elohim" in hebrew and is used as the name of God while in other verses "allah" (with a small a) is used as the translation of "elohim" in the sense of "gods" just like in the phrase "Thou shalt have no other gods before Me" which means "Jangan ada padamu tuhan-tuhan lain di hadapan-Ku" but in the Bible it is translated as "jangan ada padamu allah lain di hadapan-Ku" (the Indonesian translation of the Bible is pretty weird imo), while muslims use the name Allah as the name for the One God, the Indonesian translation of the Quran left the name Allah untranslated and the word "ilāh" in arabic which is the generic word for god is translated as "tuhan", also in the Bible, the word "Adonai" in hebrew is translated as "Tuhan" and the name "YHWH" (the LORD in the KJV of the english Bible) is translated as "TUHAN" (all letters capitalized), and in the Quran, the word "Rabb" in arabic which literally means "The One who cherishes/sustains" or simply translated as "Lord" in the english Quran is also translated in Indonesian as "tuhan". (Correct me if I'm wrong and sorry if my english is bad).

[@yourowndealer]

There is also the Sanskrit word for god, dewa which I think is still used to refer to god by traditional muslim rural communities in inland areas and by Hindus. Other words for "god" are Ilah / Ilahi, batara (a male deity), Mahaesa (I suppose it's of Sanskrit origin as well). All of these mean God or have an alternative meaning God.

The first bible in arabic was written in 8th or 9th century ad And al-quran was revealed from allah to muhammad in 7th century ad

@@scarymonster5541 How does that matter? Allah is the Arabic for "God". "Allah" is a contraction of "Al-Ilah", here "Al" is the definite article (the). "Ilah" came from Hebrew "Il", "El" or "Eloah".

Fun fact, Neighbour in Indonesian is Tetangga, They only use Jiran for addressing "Negara Jiran" (Neighbouring country) Only for Malaysia. In any other case they will use tetangga.

Indonesian and Arabic are my second and third languages respectively as an Australian who studied in Indonesia in my youth. I'm always conscious of the words of Arabic origin. As a highly flexible trading language Malay/Indonesian, like English, has picked up words from so many other laguages. There are many words of Sanskrit and some of Chinese origin, some Tamil, and then in later centuries many of Portuguese, Dutch and English origin. And of course neighbouring languages have words that have either been picked up from Malay or are at least common with Malay. Now Australians come back from visiting Indonesia with a few Indonesian words added to their vocabulary.

Many of the phrases and words discussed in this video I learned in my studies.

I figured it from its similarity to the Turkish word "hayvan."
