this has helped me a lot! I'm just a beginner, but this was completely easy thanks to you haha I also notice the pronunciation of the Indonesian alphabet is like a combination of Spanish and English, cuz' I'm a native Spanish speaker and this was funny to see, so I'm excited to see what comes next! 🥳
Ya, the alphabet pronunciation similar to most of European language, especially Dutch. Native Spanish speaker will find it easy too to pronounce Indonesian alphabet and word since we read the word the way it is written.
Maybe they just don’t know. Because sometimes their pronunciation influenced by other languages too and they think they have pronounced it correctly. You can consult Indonesian online dictionary (kbbi.kemdikbud.go.id) for more information
@@KelasPakFay Any idea on which stage of your language eveloution you mooved to the current english alphebet (Latin-script alphabet )? What was the alphebet used before the current one?
The root of current Indonesian language is Malay-Riau (one of Malay language dialects spoken in Riau, Sumatra, Indonesia). In the past time, Malay also used arabic script as its phonetics system. However, for Indonesian language, we used roman/latin alphabet for the phonetics with the adjustment in some letter sounds.
i've started studying indonesian a little less than a week ago, overall it's very easy to pronounce and construct sentences. however i'm having some difficulties pronuncing "ng" and "ngg". Is there also a rule about when a "e" should be pronounced like in "pet" or like in "panel" ?
Watch this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-X0r1Bg818qw.html to find out how to pronounce "ng" sound correctly. Most of the time "e" is pronounced as /e/ like "e" in /panel/ or like "a" in /ago/.
@@KelasPakFay thank you it really helped ! i didn't realise that sound also existed in english before. For the "e" I'll just pronounce it like in /panel/ then, my friends will correct me if i'm saying a particular word wrong lol. Thanks a lot !
Yes, it is different, Sir. This is Indonesian language not Malay language. The way we pronounce the alphabets in Indonesia also is not the same the way we pronounce it in Malay or English
