The Banyumasan Javanese (Ngoko : Wong Jawa Banyumasan ; Krama : Tiyang Jawi Toyåjênéan)[2][3] Indonesian: Orang Banyumasan[4] who are more familiarly referred to as "wong ngapak" with their famous slogan "Ora Ngapak Ora Kêpénak". The Banyumasan area is located in two former residencies, namely (Banyumas and Pekalongan). Although there are slight differences (nuances) in customs and accents, in general these areas can be said to be "the same color", that is, they both speak Banyumasan Javanese.

Language

Javanese alphabet.

For the people of Banyumas, the Bayumasan language is the mother tongue which exists as a means of daily communication. This is as said by Koentjaraningrat, the Javanese have a definite view of Banyumas culture besides having distinctive forms of ancient social organization, they also have a different Banyumas accent (Koentjaraningrat, 1994:25).

Banyumasan language, or what is more familiarly known as Ngapak language, is a dialect of Javanese spoken by people in western Central Java . More precisely in two former residencies, Banyumas and Pekalongan.

The former Banyumas Residency includes Banjarnegara, Purbalingga, Banyumas, Cilacap and Kebumen. The former Pekalongan Residency includes Tegal, Brebes, Pemalang, Batang, and Pekalongan. The Banyumasan dialect also reaches Cirebon Regency , Cirebon City and other areas of West Java that border Central Java such as Ciamis ,Pangandaran, though, has been mixed with Sundanese languages ​​and dialects. A number of Javanese linguists refer to the Banyumasan language as the original or early form of Javanese.[5][6][7]

Banyumasan people speak Banyumasan language, a dialect (or variety?) of Javanese. The language were still retaining some of Old Javanese loanwords. Banyumasan did not replace the word "a" with "o" just like standard Javanese do.[8] It is notable for its great number of nearly ubiquitous Sanskrit loans, found especially in literary Javanese.[9] This is due to the long history of Hindu and Buddhist influences in Java.

Like other Javanese in Indonesia, most Banyumasan people are bilingual fluent in Indonesian and Banyumasan.[10] In a public poll held circa-1990, approximately 12% of Javanese used Indonesian, around 18% used both Javanese and Indonesian, and the rest used Javanese exclusively.

In some areas especially in northern Cilacap and southern Brebes, Banyumasan people are able to speak Sundanese, due to the historical influence from the neighboring eastern Priangan region and the influx of Sundanese people migrated eastward and married the local people.[11]

The Banyumasan language also commonly written with the a script descended from the Brahmi script, natively known as Hanacaraka or Carakan. Upon Indonesian independence it was replaced with a form of the Latin alphabet.

Culture

In principle, Banyumas culture is an integral part of Javanese culture , but due to the geographical conditions and location, it is far from the center of royal power. Thus the life background and views of the Banyumas people are deeply imbued with the populist spirit which results in various aspects of Banyumas culture being distinguished from Javanese culture (the palace). The soul and spirit of the people of Banyumas culture has brought it to the appearance (behavior) which, when viewed from the perspective of the palace culture, seems rude and low. Banyumas culture takes place in a pattern of simplicity, which is based on a popular spirit, cablaka(open, outspoken) and built from the life of a society with a traditional-agrarian pattern of life. This tendency is due to the fact that the Banyumas region is a fringe region of large empires such as ( Yogyakarta , Surakarta ). This resulted in the development of culture in general taking place more slowly than the culture of the palace palace.[12]
