Language Challenge: Chinese vs Indonesian

Ойын-сауық

In this video, we compare some of the vocabulary shared between Indonesian (bahasa Indonesia) and Chinese (Cantonese and Mandarin), with Firman, an Indonesian speaker from Indonesia and Luke who speaks Cantonese and Mandarin. The Indonesian language has been influenced by many other languages, with Chinese being one of them.
A number of Chinese words are found in Indonesian due to historical connections. The Chinese language is a group of related languages which, despite being categorized in the same Sino-Tibetan language family, are not mutually intelligible in many cases. Out of the many groups of Chinese, Mandarin is by far the most spoken, followed by Wu, Min, and Yue (Cantonese). All varieties of Chinese are tonal and analytic. Mandarin Chinese is the official language of China and Taiwan, as well as one of the four official languages of Singapore, while Cantonese is the official language of Hong Kong and Macau.
Indonesian is a standardized register of Malay and the official language of Indonesia. Indonesia is a multi-lingual country and most Indonesians speak another language, however, the Indonesian language is used as a lingua franca. Indonesian is also recognized as minority language in East Timor.

    Perhaps it's due to historical background of Hokkien. They colonize southeastern part of China that actually the land of Austronesian language people (the big family including Indonesia language, malay, tagalog, etc). But they absorb the Austronesian element before Austronesian totaly vanished or went to Formosa, long time ago

I would suggest finding a Hokkien/Min Nan speaker either from Fujian, China or Taiwan when comparing Chinese with Southeast Asian languages. Most Chinese people in maritime Southeast Asia (Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia) are Hokkien/Min Nan Chinese and thus their Chinese influence on these languages is mostly of the Hokkien/Min Nan dialect

    Hi I'm Chinese Indonesian, so i might want to clarify about the word "hong cao" or "紅酒" that Firman might be confused. We usually call it "ang ciu" in Indonesia and it is one of the most common cooking ingredient in every Chinese household. Ang itself means Red and Ciu (Jiu) means wine. It is very different from the usual redwine, since we most use this term for "cooking wine".

    Even the words "Gua" (I) and "Elu" (You) are derived from South Min (Min Nam) or known as "HokKian" in Batavia during Dutch colonization and before Japanese colonization (now it is Jakarta, crowdest city in SE Asia maritime). But those are unofficial words in Indonesian, but amazingly most of Indonesians regardless ethnic, race, culture, religions and languages use those words. The official words for "I, Me" and "You, Your" in Indonesian is "Ako, Saya" and "Kamu, Kau, Anda, Anta". The daily currency in Indonesian such as: 50 (Go Cjap) 100 (Ce Paek) 1000 (Ce Ceng) 1500 (Ceng Go) 1000000 (Ce Tiaw) Are derived from MinNam language. You say Indonesian foods such as "Bak Sao", "Bak Mie", "Bak Wan", even "Ke Ciap" (Sauce) etc all are derived from Hok Kian / Min Nam. In Malaysia and Singapore, you can also see and find so numerous words, etc there.

    紅酒 (mandarin: hong jiu / cantonese: hung zau) = red wine -> The Indonesian equivalent would be "Angciu" (taken from Hokkien word ang = red, ciu = wine). As for the Indonesian word "Anggur Merah" (anggur = wine/grape, merah = red) that Firman said, the etymology has nothing to do with "angciu". So no, the "Ang" in "Anggur" does not come from "Ang" in "Angciu". Because one means "wine/grape", and the latter means "red". The Indonesian word "Anggur" (wine/grape) comes from the Farsi word "angoor" (same meaning. grape).

    I think most of the Chinese word that you asked was not Cantonese, but Hokkien (other dialect in Fujian Province). Like example "Room", it pronounced exactly "Punk Keng" in Hokkien, or the word that Firman mentioned on Red is "Ang" is also from Hokkien dialect. Hope it helps to understand more on the Chinese Dialect. Thumbs up on your comparison video about language, it's quite interesting to see that language has the same pronounciation, which make me believe that the root of the language itself might come from only 2-3 languages (maybe) but it evolves through time, and become thousand of it.
