SOUNDS AND PRONUNCIATION
Pronounciation patterns
Sasak language tends to sound much more softer compared to the way my family and friends speak.
In comparison to bahasa Indonesia, Sasak language often uses the letter q to replace k sounding words in Indonesian
GESTURES AND BODY LANGUAGE
The have a welcoming, kind, cute and sweet body language that were very friendly and inviting
During our trip, I couldn't make out any obvious gestures by the locals as they were mainly holding microphones or megaphones which restricted them from expressing language through their body
CULTURAL REFLECTION
Currently I am not in the state to judge how the sasak language reflects on the cultural traditions. in my opinion I need to know more about both aspects to be able to judge the relation between Sasak language and their culture. I would need to be much more immersed in their daily lives to be able to fully understand it.
SASAK VILLAGE
On the 4th day of our project week, we visited Sade village. The village was one of the last rural sasak villages as the rast has been urbanized.
We were introduced to the Bale which is the traditional house of the tribe. We explored different parts of the house and learned that the house had a special room to give birth in because their village didn't have doctor or bidan.
The roof was made of palm fiber and the top part of the house was used to store crops. They did this because they only harvest once a year.
