The Uniqueness of Batak Toba

CHAPTER I

PRELIMINARY

I.1 Introduction

            Indonesia has many diverse cultures in every region and spread across the archipelago. One of them is Batak culture derived from northern Sumatera. Batak is a collective term used to identify a number of ethnic groups predominantly found in North Sumatra, Indonesia. The term is used to include the Toba, Karo, Pakpak, Simalungun, Angkola and Mandailing, which are distinct but related groups with distinct, albeit related, languages and customs (adat). Occasionally it is also used to include the Alas people of Central/Southern Aceh, but usually only as relates to language groups.

In North Sumatra, Toba people typically assert their identity as 'Batak', while other 'Bataks' may explicitly reject that label, preferring instead to identify as specifically 'Simalungun', 'Karo', etc. The Batak Toba are known throughout Indonesia as capable musicians, and are perceived as confident, outspoken and willing to question authority, expressing differences in order to resolve them through discussion. This outlook on life is contrasted to Javanese people, Indonesia's largest ethnic group, who are more culturally conciliatory and less willing to air differences publicly.^[1]

The Batak Toba people, also called Toba people or often simply 'Batak', are the most numerous of the Batak people of North Sumatra, Indonesia, and often considered the classical 'Batak', most likely to willingly self-identify as Batak. The Batak Toba people speak in the Toba Batak language and are centered around Lake Toba and Samosir Island within the lake. Batak Toba people frequently build in traditional Batak architecture styles which are common on Samosir. Cultural demonstrations, performances and festivities such as Sigale Gale are often held for tourists.

CHAPTER II

The Uniqueness of Batak Toba

Though all six genera are derived Guru Mangaloksa which is one-a son of King Hasibuan Toba region. Similarly Nasution clan who mostly live area is the brother clan Padangsidimpuan Siahaan in Balige, of both genera are derived the same ancestors. Toba Batak as a cultural unity can definitely spread to various parts across the boundaries of their ancestral geographic origins, namely the Raja Batak Toba region which is specifically Mulamula Sianjur village situated on the slopes of Mount Pusuk Buhit, approximately 45 minutes drive from Pangururan, the Capital District Naidoo, now.

The Elements of the Culture, are:

1. Language

Batak Toba used Toba dialects

2. Society system

Batak Toba has folk weapons too namely, piso surit (broad-bladed knife), piso gaja dompak (long and wavy double-bladed dagger), hujur (lance), and podang (sword). Besides, there is traditional dress named ‘ulos’ which has many function in Batak Toba traditional life

4. Social organization

6. Mean of livelihood

Generally, Majorities of Batak Tobanese are farmer. They work in wet rice field and in-irrigated agricultural field. The field comes from distribution based on clan; and every family who gets the field cannot sell it. Animal husbandry is one of Batak Tobanese mean of livelihood to;  for examples, the husbandry of buffalo, cow, pig, goat, chicken, and duck. Batek Tobanese who lives in the edge of Lake Toba, raises fishes especially mujair fish (freshwater fish widely stocked in inland waters and an important food) and gold-fish. Besides, there are also handicraft industries such as tenun (weaving affairs), anyaman rotan (cane work), ukiran kayu (carved wood), and glazed porcelain.

8. Batak Toba Houses

The Batak Toba house is one of the most distinctive traditional buildings in Southeast Asia. No one knows when the creation of these houses started, but the Batak Toba Houses have been around as long as anyone can remember. These houses can be found around Lake Toba (hence its name) in the North Sumatra province of Indonesia, and one of the six Batak tribes construct and dwell in them.

Batak Toba Houses are built close to each other due to the history of the fights between the tribes, and this feature gives them more advantage to defend themselves. They are constructed on top of rows and columns of pillars, a foundation that goes above the ground, in order to avoid damages caused by floods. Its roofs are "boat-shaped" and tend to be very tall and tilted, reaching down as far as the main living area.

C.    The Batak Toba People

The Batak Toba are known throughout Indonesia as capable musicians, and are perceived as confident, outspoken and willing to question authority, expressing differences in order to resolve them through discussion. This outlook on life is contrasted to Javanese people, Indonesia's largest ethnic group, who are more culturally conciliatory and less willing to air differences publicly.

The Batak Toba people, also called Toba people or often simply 'Batak', are the most numerous of the Batak people of North Sumatra, Indonesia, and often considered the classical 'Batak', most likely to willingly self-identify as Batak. The Batak Toba people speak in the Toba Batak language and are centered around Lake Toba and Samosir Island within the lake. Batak Toba people frequently build in traditional Batak architecture styles which are common on Samosir. Cultural demonstrations, performances and festivities such as Sigale Gale are often held for tourists.

D.    Batak Toba Language

Batak Toba /ˈtoʊbə ˈbætək/ is an Austronesian language spoken in North Sumatra province in Indonesia. It is part of a group of languages called "Batak". There are approximately 2.000.000 Batak Toba speakers, living west and south of Lake Toba. Historically it was written using Batak script, but the Latin script is now used for most writing.

The name of this language arises from a rich and complex history of ethnic identity in colonial and post-colonial Indonesia. It is a generic name for the common language used by the people of the districts of Toba, Uluan, Humbang, Habinsaran, Samosir, and Silindung, centered upon the Island of Sumatra; more particularly, at Lake Toba. Linguistically and culturally these tribes of people are closely related. Other nearby communities such as Silalahi and Tongging may also be classified as speakers of Toba Batak.

The term "Toba Batak" is, itself, a derivation of the Toba Batak language. As such, it is used both as a noun and an adjective; both to describe a language, and also to describe the people who speak the language.

D.1 Batak Toba Alphabet

The Batak alphabet, or surat batak, is descended ultimately from the from Brahmi script of ancient India by way of the Pallava and Old Kawi scripts.  The Batak languages of northern Sumatra - Karo Batak, Toba Batak, Dairi Batak, Simalungun/Timur, Angkola and Mandailing Batak, and occasionally Malay. In most Batak communities, only the datu (priests) are able to read and write the Batak alphabet and they use it mainly for calendars and magical texts.

System of writing in the tradition of Toba Batak language though to have existed since the 13th century. With a script that may be derived from ancient Javanese script, through ancient Sumatera script. This script is silabis , it means to describe a tribal mark. Symbol number as many as 19 letters called parent letters and plus 7 types of children letters. Basically the letter /ka/ is never found in the Batak Toba language. Batak Toba people in the first instance when mention of coffee (kopi ) is hopi and hoda (not a horse).

Toba Batak syllabic alphabet :

Dairi Batak, which is also known as Batak Toba and Batta, is an Austronesian language spoken by about 2 million people in the northern part of the Indonesian island of Sumatra.

E.     Data

On this paper, the writer used Batak Toba language as research material. There are five hundred vocabulary used as research. As we know that, it’s not easy to researched, but in the end the writer managed to finish it.

From the research that has been conducted, the writer found quite a lot of consonant symbols used in the material (Batak Toba language). The consonant most commonly used, are ŋ, ʤ, j.

So, that’s the result of research that can be expressed by the writer through the research was quite complicated and took a lot of time.

CHAPTER III

A.    Conclusion

Batak ethnic is one of the old ethnics in Indonesia which comes from North Sumatra. The people is called Bataknese. They are known as ‘nomads’. Batak ethnics consist of some sub-ethnics; they live in North Sumatera regions. Most of them live in Tapanuli, Simalungun, Karo, Nias, and Pakpak Dairi. Batak Toba lives in Toba, Silindung, Samosir, and Humbang; Batak Angkola lives in South Tapanuli, Sipirok and Angkola; Batak Mandailing lives in Mandailing, Natal; Batak Simalungun lives around Simalungun regions; Batak Karo lives around Karo regions; Batak Pakpak Dairi lives around Pakpak and Dairi regions. Based on the anthropology lesson, Nias, Alas, Gayo is grouped in sub-batak ethnics.

Batak Toba /ˈtoʊbə ˈbætək/ is an Austronesian language spoken in North Sumatra province in Indonesia. It is part of a group of languages called "Batak". There are approximately 2.000.000 Batak Toba speakers, living west and south of Lake Toba. Historically it was written using Batak script, but the Latin script is now used for most writing.

The Batak alphabet, or surat batak, is descended ultimately from the from Brahmi script of ancient India by way of the Pallava and Old Kawi scripts. System of writing in the tradition of Toba Batak language though to have existed since the 13th century. With a script that may be derived from ancient Javanese script, through ancient Sumatera script. This script is silabis , it means to describe a tribal mark. Symbol number as many as 19 letters called parent letters and plus 7 types of children letters

B.     Contribution of Phonology

As we know that, if we are talking about phonology it’s mean study of sound in certain language. As the result of research, the writer found the contribution of Batak Toba language for phonology, those are:

·         Add  knowledge about another language, especially traditional language

·         Make phonology as a science that covers all aspects of language and variety of language

·         Make phonology more examine about the sound system of any language, so do not be pegged only in one language, that is English.

·         Phonology becomes easier to learn.

·         Phonology become more develop

C.    Suggestion of learning phonology for future

In my opinion, phonology is fascinating science, because phonology can examine every aspect and content in a word of the language. It could be said that phonology is very broad on the fact. So, my suggestion of learning phonology for future is:

Ø  Phonology should be developed to more languages that exist in this world, especially the traditional language

Ø  As we know that phonology is not familiar, and if phonology become developing, it will make people interest to learning phonology.

Ø  Hopefully phonology could be known on the future, and make a lot of people in the world interested to learn it.

Ø  In addition to covering about language, it might be worthwhile if the phonology also encompass about the culture of language, and how they produce the sound of their language.

Ø  Hopefully devoted language studied by phonology can have its own phonetic transcription such as, vowels, diphthongs, and consonant. And consonant chart also.

D.    Experience of Learning Phonology

According to my opinion above, my experience of learning phonology is very amazing to me. Because, this is my first time to study about phonology. However, phonology isn’t an easy subject to learn, for me it’s difficult enough. But, because my lecturer is so smart, she usually explain about parts of phonology clear to us, and it made us become easy to catch it.

Although when we studied phonology, we always got the assignment and test almost every week, but I never feel bored with it all. More frequent we got a lot of assignment, it actually add our knowledge of phonology itself.

By studying phonology, I came to know what is it phoneme, phonetic, phonogram, and allophone. And also I came to know what is meant place and manner of articulation and what are the divisions. And now I know what is vowel, diphthongs, and consonant and what the function of consonant chart.
