By complete means and apparatus, and along with the greatest authority, a state could unleash political injustice, economic injustice, social injustice, legal injustice, and even humanitarian injustice.
I was an active editor at RobotApro Wiki [sic] (it should be RobotArpo Wiki instead) on Fandom, however, years after leaving it in early 2020s, there have been several pages created by unknown people.
I'm currently busy on creating new articles relating to my province, East Kalimantan.
Term preferences
edit- I'd rather like to use the Mahakam or the Mahakam river instead of the Mahakam River.
- I prefer to refer the so-called Indonesian "TV networks" as "TV channels" instead.
Districts of East Kalimantan whose their administrative histories are unclear
edit- Anggana, said to first have its district head in 1960, but its predecessor is unclear.
- Several districts in East Kutai, all of them formed between 1999 and 2005:
- Tanjung Harapan and Pasir Belengkong, both split from Tanjung Aru, year of formation unknown.
- West Bontang, split from North Bontang, date of formation unclear (17 July 1999, 2002 (date unknown), or 16 August 2003).
My thoughts and opinions
edit- The linguistic situation in Madagascar, although claimed to be linguistically diverse, it's an African counterpart of Czechia. Malagasy is basically the only language native to the island, consisting of many dialects that vary in the terms of mutual intelligibility.
- I still remember this review on Arpo: TRFAK.
- Corsica mirrors the Aosta Valley. Although Corsican toponyms reflect Italian roots and Aostan toponyms reflect French roots, Corsica belongs to France and the Aosta Valley belongs to Italy.
- Although Java only has 4 principal languages (Sundanese, Betawi, Javanese, Madurese, some with debatable divergent dialects as languages) and Bali only has Balinese, it is much easier to preserve these languages rather than those in other islands.
- The Indonesian dialect of Samarinda is characterized by free word order (despite this does not correlate with richer inflection, since it is basically an analytic language).
- Betawi is closer to Bangka Malay (and possibly older Palembang Malay) than any other Malayic languages, noting the retention of *-əC and fronting of final *-a to -e. I even think that these varieties are among the earliest to diverge from Proto-Malayic (Kerinci, although being extremely divergent, can be derived from the nuclear Malayic).
- Nonetheless, most (but not all) Malayic languages are partially mutually intelligible (and part of a dialect continuum).
- Wilkinson spelling, introduced by the British, is the antecedent of both Indonesian and Malaysian orthographies, although the knowledge about this older spelling is almost unknown except in Malaysia (collection of former British colonies). Wilkinson spelling originally used ch and sh instead of modern c and sy. Modern c was simplified from ch (van Ophuijsen tj > *ty), while sy was derived from van Ophuijsen sj.
- Digital on-screen graphics of most Indonesian regional TV stations follow the South Asian model (always in full color, never removed in advertisements, and often permanently animated).
- The greatest extent of South Kalimantan included:
- The entirety of Central Kalimantan
- Paser Regency
- Undivided district of Waru (now including Babulu) of Penajam North Paser Regency
- Indonesia during Abdurrahman Wahid's era was technically a parliamentary republic with an executive president, similar to that of South Africa; or an assembly-independent one, similar to that of former Dutch colony Suriname.
- I'd never watched Samarinda TV in my life. It has been defunct since August 2023, leaving cable Tepian TV as the only local TV station in Samarinda.
- Almost every current Indonesian female full names have at least one name that end in either -a or -i. Many names also have those end in both. Counterexamples are suprisingly extremely rare.
Indonesian dialects
editThe Indonesian language is divided into several dialects, many of them are still unclear. In terms of phonology, they remain relatively homogeneous, excepting non-native consonants and vowels.
Kalimantan
editCurrently, only Pontianak and Banjarmasin have their own identifiable dialects (see also: Pontianak Malay and Banjarese). Elsewhere, the dialects are still unclear, since the native ethnic groups have a smaller proportion than the newcomers. It has been mixed with Betawi-based Indonesian (which is closest with Bangka Malay), similar to the new mixed dialects of Polish. Since the upcoming establishment of Nusantara as the national capital, it will be increasingly indistinguishable from either that of Jakarta or the standard language.
Some notable people I met
edit- Akmal Malik , acting governor of East Kalimantan, on 29 November 2024, during his visit at my school.
- Ismunandar , former regent of East Kutai, on 28 March 2019, during a shareholder meeting on Bankaltimtara. He was later arrested a year later due to a corruption case.
- Vaguely, Bando Amin , former regent of Kepahiang in 2015, at his house. He was later arrested two years later also due to a corruption case.
