East Barito: Who Were the Malayo-Polynesian Migrants to Madagascar?

6 komentar
Dahl (1951, 1977) showed that Malagasy, the Austronesian language spoken as a number of dialects by almost all inhabitants of Madagascar, belongs to the Southeast Barito subgroup,[5] the other members of which (Maanyan, Samihim, Dusun Malang, Dusun Witu, Dusun Deyah and Paku) are spoken in the southeastern part of Borneo. Dahl observed that Malagasy has a relatively small number of Sanskrit loanwords in comparison to the large numbers in some Indonesian languages. According to him this indicated that the East Barito migrants to Madagascar must have left their homeland only just after Indian influence had begun to affect the Indonesian languages and cultures. Considering the fact that Indian linguistic influence in Indonesia can be traced to a date as far back as the fifth century AD, Dahl concluded that the migration must have taken place at this time or slightly after. He does not explicitly consider the possibility of influence from other Austronesian languages.

Asal Mula Upacara Kematian Dayak Maanyan

Sebelum diberlakukannya hukum penyelenggaraan upacara kematian di kalangan Suku Dayak Maanyan, kematian hanya dianggap sebagai perpindahan dari dunia fana ke dunia baru. Suatu dunia yang lebih menyenangkan, hak milik pribadi atau sempurna oleh sebab itu orang Maanyan menyebutnya Tatau Matei (tatau:kaya, matei:mati). Jadi menurut mereka kematian hanyalah hal biasa saja yang dinamakan tulak miidar; miidar jalan; ngalih panguli hengka marunsia (pergi pindah; pindah jalan; mengalihkan kaki dari manusia) begitu sederhananya konsep kematian menurut mereka saat itu.
Konsep kematian seperti sekarang datang akibat dari perbuatan dan keinginan manusia itu sendiri. Ada sumber lisan yang tumbuh dan berkembang serta dipercayai oleh mereka yang terus menceritakan turun temurun.
