Summary: | This paper will review the Jawi Peranakan community that settled in Penang.
A survey was conducted through qualitative methods and focused on library
research and non-structured interviews between the researcher and the Jawi
Peranakan informants. This survey found that the arrival of the immigrants
and traders from India and Arab to Penang gave rise to the Jawi Peranakan
community through inter-marriage between these groups with local Malay
women. The hybrid group was originally known as Jawi Pekan, nevertheless
later it was addressed as Jawi Peranakan. At present, the Jawi Peranakan was
inclined to adopt Malay culture and in the process to become Malay, the
process of assimilation and amalgamation experienced by these peoples over
the years had caused most of them no longer maintain their culture because it
is said to be contrary among Muslims. Shift not only occurred on the cultural aspects, but the language aspect also exhibits the same condition. This paper
will describe and explore current changes in culture and language of Jawi
Peranakan in Penang |
