the government-sanctioned transmigration project created to balance the population, especially from
|
9845_236
|
the highly overpopulated Java island; as a result, Javanese is also widely spoken and understood,
|
9845_237
|
especially in areas with a high population of transmigrant, for example Belitang. Forming the next

Malayo-Polynesian people related to the native Lampungese from neighboring Lampung. Minangkabau,

9845_242
|
people are divided into two groups: Wong Jeroo is a descendant of nobility and is slightly lower

9845_252

|
9845_256
|
clan, Sosoh Buay Rayap clan, Peliyung Pemuka Buay clan, Bu Madang clan, and the Semendawai clan.
|
9845_257
|
The area of Komering culture is the most extensive area compared to the cultural areas of other
|
9845_258
|
tribes in South Sumatra. In addition, when viewed from the character of the people, the Komering
|
9845_259
|
people is known to have a high and hard temper. Based on folklore in the Komering community, the
|
9845_260
|
ancestor of the Komering people and the ancestor of the Batak people in North Sumatra, are said to
|
9845_261
|
be still brothers. The brothers who came from across the country. After arriving in Sumatra, they

The Semendo people live in the Semendo District, Muara Enim Regency. Historically, the Semendo
|
9845_265
|
people came from the descendants of the Bantenese people who, in the past few centuries, traveled
|
9845_266
|
from Java to the island of Sumatra, and later settled and gave birth to grandchildren in the
|
9845_267
|
Semendo area. Nearly 100% of Semendo's population depends on agricultural products, which are still
|
9845_268
|
processed in traditional ways. Agricultural land in this area is quite fertile, because it is
|
9845_269
|
approximately 900 meters above sea level. There are two main commodities from this area: Robusta
|
9845_270
|
coffee with a total production of 300 tons per year, and rice, where this area is one of the rice
|
9845_271
|
barns for the area of South Sumatra. Customs and culture of this region are strongly influenced by
|
9845_272
|

9845_276
|

|
9845_277
|
the Malay language called the Palembang Malay or Musi. Currently, Palembang Malay has become the
|
9845_278
|
lingua franca in the region. Palembang Malay originated from the Old Malay language which blends
|
9845_279
|
with Javanese and is pronounced according to the accent of the Palembang people. Moreover, this
|
9845_280
|
language has absorbed words from Arabic, Urdu, Persian, Chinese, Portuguese, English and Dutch,
|
9845_281
|
because Palembang was once a large trading city, attracting various kinds of merchants from various
|
9845_282
|
places. In the past, Palembang Malay was written with the Jawi script, a modified version of the
|
9845_283
|
Arabic script. Nowadays, the user of the Jawi script is diminishing and being replaced by the Latin
|
9845_284
|
script.
|
9845_285
|
Palembang Malay consists of two register, first is the everyday language that is used almost by
|
9845_286
|
everyone in the city or also called the bahasa pasar (market language). Secondly is the polite and
|
9845_287
|
formal style (Bebaso), which is used by limited circles, such as sultans and nobility. Usually
|
9845_288
|
spoken by and for people who are respected or who are older. As used by children to parents,
|
9845_289
|
daughter-in-law to parents-in-law, students to teachers, or between speakers of the same age as the
|
9845_290
|
purpose of mutual respect, because Bebaso means to speak politely and subtly.

9845_291
|
However, migrants often use their local language as a daily language, such as Komering, Rawas, Musi
|
9845_292
|
and Lahat. Migrants from outside South Sumatra sometimes also use their local language as a daily
|
9845_293
|
language in their families or regional communities. However, to communicate with other Palembang
|
9845_294
|
residents, residents generally use the Palembang Malay as their daily language of instruction. In
|
9845_295
|
addition to the indigenous people, in Palembang there are also migrants and descendants, such as
|
9845_296
|
from Java, Minangkabau, Madura, Bugis and Banjar. Many descendants living in Palembang are Chinese,
|
9845_297
|
Arabs and Indian.

9845_299
|
official purposes.
