Bahasa Indonesia which is done to know the proficiency of both the
Javanese of some Javanese and Chinese students in using standard Bahasa
Indonesia
This is a qualitative study and the source of are taken from 60 students
divided into three groups ; 20 Javanese, 20 Chinese "Peranakans" and 20
Chinese "Totoks". The instruments used are : a questionnaire which is used to
get the social background of the respondents and an interview made in standard
Bahasa Indonesia and based on a serious topic. By recording, transcribing,
classifying, tabulating, analyzing, and then calculating their responses, the
proficiency of the respondents in speaking Bahasa Indonesia is discovered
The study finds that the Chinese Totoks have the highest proficiency in
term of group percentage compare to the Javanese, whereas the Chinese
Peranakans have the lowest proficiency. It is also discovered that the are some
similarities and differences in the linguistic output they produced. All groups
use non-standard Indonesian vocabularies such as "kalok (if)", "tapi (but)",
"cuma (only)", "soalnya (because)", and "ndak (no)". However, only the
Chinese groups use some words and phrases of Bahasa Cina Peranakan (BCP)
like "mak keja (for)" and "entik (later)" and the low variety of Javanese
language (Ngoko) like "soro-soro (hard)" and "nemen (too much)". However,
the five social backgrounds which are presumed to correlate with the
proficiency in speaking standard Bahasa Indonesia are not to be influential.
