The object with which this form is used is to suggest that a writer is acquainted with the Arabic language; should his reader be acquainted with Arabic, it would prove the very contrary. The use of this form, though it can be defended by the extent to which the custom prevails, is, therefore, a piece of affectation which it is better to avoid. The Romanized equivalents given must not be taken to represent the exact sound of the character for which they are used as substitutes. The pronunciation of the Malayo-Arabic letters is discussed elsewhere [Appendix II. and is best acquired in a practical way by listening to the speech of educated natives. Besides the letters constituting the Alphabet, certain diacritical marks are occasionally met with in literature. Some of these marks only occur in Arabic quotations and need not be acquired, but the following should be known to every advanced student of Malay. The Vowel Points.-The letters of the Arabic alphabet are all considered to be consonants [Appendix II]. The vowels are either understood, or are expressed by the vowel-points fathah, kasrah and dlammah. These represent short vowels, but when followed by the consonants alif, yd, and wau respectively, they become long vowels. In Malay the fathah (-) is known as the baris di-atas; it is pronounced as a short a or (when followed by an alif) as a long a. The kasrah (7) is known as the baris di- bawah; it is pronounced as a short e or i, or (when followed by a ya) as a long e or i. The dlammah () is Laman:A Malay-English dictionary (IA aeg2034.0001.001.umich.edu).pdf/731 Laman:A Malay-English dictionary (IA aeg2034.0001.001.umich.edu).pdf/732 Laman:A Malay-English dictionary (IA aeg2034.0001.001.umich.edu).pdf/733 Laman:A Malay-English dictionary (IA aeg2034.0001.001.umich.edu).pdf/734 Laman:A Malay-English dictionary (IA aeg2034.0001.001.umich.edu).pdf/735 Laman:A Malay-English dictionary (IA aeg2034.0001.001.umich.edu).pdf/736 Laman:A Malay-English dictionary (IA aeg2034.0001.001.umich.edu).pdf/737 represents them by certain accepted Roman equivalents. It has the merit of simplicity, it gives a very fair approximation to the sound of the word, and it tends to consistency in that it leaves very little scope for the idiosyncracies of individual writers. On the other hand, it is faulty because the Arabic vowel system does not adequately deal with Malay vowel sounds, and because its rough-and-ready character hinders, rather than helps the proper study of phonetics.
The phonetic method presents great difficulties. To begin with, it is difficult to exactly reproduce Malay sounds in a character associated with a different phonic system. In the next place, the pronunciation of the language varies dialectically, so that the same word might be differently romanized in different localities. Again, its successful working depends in a great measure upon the individuality of the writer, so that consistency is hard to attain. Finally, a phonetic system, however accurate and detailed, is a poor substitute for the study of pronunciation from the lips of good speakers. A study of the romanized books published in Singapore shows that a rough-and-ready phonetic system based on Hunterian principles is generally followed[1]; and that this system, on the whole, works well. It is not always consistent, but rarely suffers in legibility from the peculiarities of individual writers. It meets the requirements of all except specialists, and its practical advantages for general work need not be sacrificed to a pedantic love for the perfectly accurate or the perfectly uniform.
In this work, the literal methods followed by the Dutch lexicographers have been generally observed; but a certain latitude has been taken in the representation of vowel sounds, and notes have been added in cases where the transliteration of a word would otherwise give an incorrect idea of its pronunciation. Had it been possible to deal in the spirit of the specialist with the dialects of the Malay Peninsula, these would not have been the only concessions to phonetics. As it is, the spelling in this Dictionary would possess sufficient simplicity for popular usage but for the use, in certain cases, of the redundant ze and y. The popular spelling of tuwan as tuan and of iya as ia is to be recommended for general elementary work, but, in more advanced work, is apt to be misleading. It suggests that the second syllable in words such as those quoted above, commences with the spiritus lenis when it really begins with a we or a y. It gives an incorrect idea of the value of alif by confusing the "hamzated" alif with the alif of prolongation. It is also faulty for etymological study; for instance, watu is the Javanese form of batu, and the bearing of this fact on the derivation of suwatu is not suggested by the spelling suatu which implies that atu and not watu is the second portion of the word. These points may seem trivial; but the confusion imported into Malay spelling is in great measure due to the inadequate com- prehension of the alphabet fostered by the belief that the spelling tuan is not a mere approximation to the sound of a certain work but is an exact transliteration of certain Arabic letters. For this reason, it has been considered advisable, in a work for relatively advanced students, to sacrifice simplicity to some slight extent. For elementary students the popular system is recommended and has been used in every work except this by the writer of this Dictionary. 1 E.g., in KELLY and WALSH's Malay Handbook and in some Romanized School Readers-published anonymously.
