Pendahuluan

Orang-orang Sentani tinggal di pulau-pulau dan pantai danau Sentani, dekat Jayapura, ibu kota propinsi Irian Jaya, Indonesia. Jumlah mereka melebihi 16.000 orang. Bahasa Sentani adalah bahasa non-Austronesia, terdiri dari tiga dialek yang ditentukan oleh letak tempat mereka di danau Sentani, yaitu Sentani Timur, Tengah, dan Barat.

Percakapan-percakapan dalam buku ini ditulis berdasarkan cara pembicaraan penduduk pulau Ifar Besar, salah satu kampung yang berdialek Sentani Tengah. Kami harap percakapan­percakapan dasar dalam bahasa Sentani ini akan dapat membantu para pengunjung untuk mengerti dan menghargai keadaan sosial dan bahasa Sentani.

Pengucapan

Uraian singkat mengenai bunyi dan lambang bunyi berikut ini dimaksudkan untuk membantu mereka yang mempelajari bahasa ini dalam menguasai cara-cara pengucapan, sedangkan kemurnian dalam pengucapan itu sendiri hanya akan diperoleh dengan bantuan pembicara setempat dan latihan-Iatihan sendiri. Para ahli ilmu bahasa yang ingin mengetahui lebih lanjut mengenai fonologi bahasa Sentani ini dapat melihat M. Hartzler (1976).

Abjad yang dipakai disini, yang disesuaikan dengan sistim bahasa Indonesia, masih bersifat sementara.

(1) Konsonan

Hambatan tak bersuara k, jika terdapat pada awal kata akan disertai dengan sedikit aspirasi (udara keluar sedik~t mengikuti pelepasannya). Pada pertengahan kata, ~ menjadi seperti E, dimana udara dan bunyi keluar secara serentak (sesungguhnya frikatif ~) .

Dalam bahasa Sentani, hambatan bersuara b akan terdengar antara bunyi ~ dan £. Pada umumnya, bunyi ini menyerupai ~ pada awal kata dan £-pada pertengahan kata.

r adalah seperti dalam Bahasa Indonesia dan berganti menjadi t tanpa aspirasi pada awal kata.

, (hambatan glotal) menyatakan pengetatan dari saluran udara di glotis.

Konsonan-konsonan lainnya dapat dikatakan hampir sarna dengan Bahasa Indonesia atau Inggris.

(2) Vokal

Bahasa Sentani mempunyai tujuh vokal dengan beberapa variasi tergantung dari konteks pengucapan.

ii

i diucapkan seperti 'berani' dalam Bahasa Indonesia kecuali sebelum bunyi sengau, berbunyi seperti J:. dalam 'tJ:.nggi'. -

e diucapkan seperti kate. 'enak' kecuali pada akhir kata atau segera sesudah i, dalam hal ini diucapkan seperti vokal e dalam kata 'l~bar'. Foneme yang berbeda [8""':i:] (menyerupai vokal dalam 'l~bah') biasanya ditulis oleh orang-orang Sentani dengan lambang ~ tanpa ambiguitas. Para pembaca diharapkan untuk berhubangan dengan pembicara bahasa Sentani untuk mendapatkan pengucapan yang jelas.

a adalah sama seperti dalam 'j~l~', dan ~ sarna seperti dalam Bahasa Inggris 'c~t'.

u adalah seperti '~jung', dan £ adalah sarna dengan 'c£c£k'.

Para pembaca hendaknya memperhatikan peraturan-peraturan pengucapan berikut ini:

(a) Jika u terdapat antara vokal dan konsonan, maka secara otomatis akan terdapat bunyi w sesudah konsonan, misalnya: ikeunge 'beri' diucapkan ikeungwe, tetapi ~ dalam puna 'dalam air' akan tetap sama sebab tidak didahului oleh vokal lain.

(b) ~ diucapkan seperti 'a~in'; ngk diucapkan seperti dalam kata '~uk'.

(c) Tekanan terdapat pada silabe kedua dari akhir, kecuali bila silabe akhir berakhir dengan konsonan atau hambatan glotal. Misalnya: unulu 'roh' dan ijem 'lurus'.

Tata Bahasa Ringkas

(1) Kata Benda

Kata benda selalu terdapat di muka kata-kata deskriptif:

(a) Kata sifat, contoh: ro kabam orang besar manggo awan

keleumong putih

(b) Kata bilangan, contoh: fa mbai anak satu

Kata benda selalu terdapat sesudah demonstratif: contoh: nda imae ini rumah

iii

Kata benda terdapat sesudah kata ganti:

(a) Kata ganti empunya, contoh: naei imae nya rumah

(b) Interogatif, contoh:

(2) Kata ganti orang

ndele kakai? siapa perahu

Bahasa Sentani rnempergunakan kata ganti orang untuk semua orang, kecuali kata ganti orang ketiga jamak 'mereka' sama dengan kata ganti orang ketiga tunggal fiat, di dalam semua posisi kalirnat.

saya

engkau ia

reyae

weyae neyae

kita karni kalian mereka

eyae rneyae meyae neyae

( (meyaeJ)

Seringkali juga ka-~a ganti orang ini disingkatkan, seperti:

saya, saya punya engkau, engkau

punya ia, dia punya

ra, raei

wa, waei na, naei

Wa engkau

makeise? pergi kemana?

Pete na miyae Pete dia punya isteri

(3) Kata ker ja

kami, karni punya ma, maei

mereka, mereka punya na, naei

Kata kerja rnerupakan bagian yang paling kompleks dalam Bahasa Sentani. Urutan dalam klaus adalah sebagai berikut:

SUBYEK + OBYEK + KAT A KERJA

Akar kata dapat diikuti oleh berbagai-bagai akhiran, contoh:

iv

me - re - Ie. Raijae kira-kira siang datang - saya akan - partikel persetujuan 'Saya akan datang kira-kira siang hari. '

Kata kerja juga dapat berawalan, misalnya dalam kalimat negatif:

Reyae saya

namam nda belum ini

rambung benda

o - moko - i boi. negatif - kerja - negaiif - aspek peristiwa

(akar kata)

'Saya belum mengerjakannya.'

Kata kerja dapat didahului oleh kata tambahan, contoh:

Benem nda a lagi ini Kata

melau-melauke eleiko. perlahan-lahan berkata

'Katakan kata ini lagi dengan perlahan-lahan.'

Deskripsi kata kerja yang lebih lengkap terdapat dalam D. Hartzler (1976).

Introduction

The Sentani are a people whose traditional home is located on the islands and shores of Lake Sentani, near Jayapura, the provincial capital of Irian Jaya, Indonesia. They number more than 16,000. The Sentani language is Non-Austronesian, comprising three dialects designated by their positions along Lake Sentani as Eastern, Central, and Western Sentani. These conversations are based on the speech of the inhabitants of Ifar Besar, one of the villages of the Central dialect.

It is hoped that these elementary conversations in the Sentani language will serve to encourage visitors to understand and appreciate the linguistic and social richness of the Sentani people.

Pronunciation

While the following brief description of Sentani sounds and symbols is intended to orient the general student to major features of pronunciation, it must be emphasized that these and other details of authentic Sentani speech production will only be accomplished with the assistance of a Sentani speaker and some practice. Linguists seeking a more technical treatment of Sentani phonology are referred to M. Hartzler (1976).

The alphabet is tentative and has been adapted to the Indonesian writing system with which the Sentani are familiar.

(1) Consonants

Voiceless stop k, when occurring at the beginning of words, is accompanied by slight aspiration (a small amount of air accompanies its release). In the middle of the word~ k becomes more like ~, except that air is again expressed simultaneously with the sound (actually a fricative g).

Voiced stop b in the Sentani language is actually heard as a sound midway between ~ and ~. Generally, however, this sound most resembles ~ at the beginning of words, and ~ in the middle of words.

r is flapped, as in Indonesian, and alternates with an unaspirated t at the beginning of words.

, (glottal stop) represents a tightening of the air passage at the glottis.

Other consonants are roughly the same as in English or Indonesian.

viii

(2) Vowels

Sentani has seven vowels, with several variations depending on the context in which it is articulated.

i is pronounced as in English 's~d', except before nasals. Then it sounds the same as the i in 'r1,ng'.

e is pronounced as in 'fed', except when it is the last sound in a word, or immediately prior to i, in which case it is pronounced like the vowel a in 'lame'. A distinct phoneme [e~~] is-also regularly written by Sentani speakers with the ~ symbol without ambiguity. Readers are referred to a Sentani speaker for pronunciation clarification of this sound.

a is the same as in 'f~ther', and ae is as in 'cat'.

u is like 'you', and 0 is similar to the British English pronunciation of 'cot'.

The reader should pay special attention also to the following pronunciation rules:

(a) When u occurs between another vowel and a consonant, it is automatically carried over in the form of a ~ af"ser the consonant, e.g. ikeunge 'give' is pronounced as though spelled ikeungwe, but ~ in puna 'in the water' remains the same, since it is not preceded by another vowel.

(b) Qg is pronounced as in 'siQger'; ngk is pronounced as in 'fiQger'.

(c) Wo,'d stress (accent) occurs on the next to last syllable except when the last syllable ends in a consonant or glottal stop, e.g. unulu 'spirit', and ijem 'straight'.

Brief Grammar

(1) Nouns

Nouns always occur before the following sets of descriptive words:

(a) adjectives, e.g. ro kabam man big

manggo keleumong cloud white

ix

( b) numbers, e.g. fa mbai child one

Nouns always occur after demonstratives, e.g.

Nouns occur after pronouns:

( a) Possessive, e.g. naei imae his house

(b) Interrogative, e.g. ndele kakai? whose boat?

(2) Pronouns

nda imae this house

Sentani uses different pronouns for all persons, except the third person plural 'they', which is the same as the third person singular 'he, she', for all positions in the sentence.

I reyae

you (singular) weyae he, she neyae

In all positions they can be

I, my you, your he, his she, her

Wa makeise? you go where?

Pete na miyae Pete his wife

(3) Verbs

ra, raei wa, waei

na, naei

we (inclusive) eyae we (exclusive) meyae

([ meyae] ) you (plural) meyae they neyae

(and often are) abbreviated, e.g.

we, our rna, maei

they na, naei

The verb is the most complex part of the Sentani language. It occurs in the clause in the following order:

SUBJECT + OBJECT + VERB

x

The verb root can be followed by numerous suffixes, e.g.

Raijae ~m~e~ ____ -~r~e~~ __ ~~~ __ -~l~e~. around noon come - first person - agreement particle

(root) Singular future tense

'I will come around noon.'

The verb can also be prefixed, for example, with a negative:

Reyae I

namam not yet

nda this

rambung thing

o moko - i boi. negative - do - negative - occurrence aspect

(root)

'I have not yet done this thing.'

The verb may be preceded by any adverb, e.g.

Benem nda a melau-melauke again this word slowly

'Say this word again slowly.'

eleiko. say

A more complete description of the Sentani verb is given in D. Hartzler (1976).

(4) Sentences

The structure of the simple sentence (clause) is:

SUBJECT + OBJECT + VERB

Some basic examples of sentence types are as follows:

( a) Questions

Weyae makeise you where

elere? go

'Where are you going?'

Weyae you

ka -re fish

heubondere? want to sell

xi

(b) Command

(e) Statement
