  Wordlist for Module 1

J The smiley face indicates words that are part of the colloquial speech. Please note that

these words are frequently used in casual speech, but never in formal speech or in writing.

é The Indonesian spelling system is to a large extent phonetic. Words are pronounced as

they are written and each grapheme (letter) by and large represents one phoneme (sound). Only

the letter /e/ represents two di fferent sounds: In most words (such as kenal, selamat, terima) the e

stands for what linguists call the schwa. The schwa is the vowel sound in many lightly pro-

nounced unaccented syllables in words of more than one syllable. It is sometimes signified by the

pronunciation “uh” or symbolised by an upside-down rotated e. In English the schwa sound can

be represented by any vowel letter. In most dialects, for example, the schwa sound is found in the

following words: The /a/ is schwa in adept; the /e/ is schwa in synthesis; the /i/ is schwa in decim-

al; the /o/ is schwa in harmony; the /u/ is schwa in medium, and the /y/ is schwa in syringe. In In-

donesian the schwa is indicated by one letter only: /e/.

However, the letter /e/ is also used to represent an accentuated e-sound. Some English words of

French origin mark this sound with an accent: résumé, sauté. When the letter /e/ is pronounced as

the é in sauté, then it is indicated by an accentuated /e/: é. Note that the accent is only used as

an aid in this wordlist. You will not find it in texts written in Indonesian. Soré is always written sore.

• Many Indonesian words have a ffixes in the form of prefixes, suffixes, or circumfixes at- tached to the root word. When a word contains an a ffix, the root word is given in parentheses pre- ceded by a dot, e.g. “( •kenal)”.
