Abstract

This article discusses the diversity of ethnic languages such as Chinese, Bugis, Javanese, Sundanese, Banjarmasin and others that interact with the Makassar language as an indigenous language in Makassar City. This inter-ethnic language interaction requires a neutral communication medium as the inter-ethnic liaison language, namely Indonesian. The study of integration between the Makassar language and Indonesian is considered important to increase the capacity of the Makassar dialect of Indonesian which is very productive and systemically used by its speakers. This article can also guide speakers of other ethnic languages to be able to use Indonesian Makassar dialect appropriately so that misunderstandings in inter-ethnic communication can be minimized due to the presence of linguistic facts as local characteristics that need to be understood by speakers of other ethnic languages in Makassar City. Data collection is done by elicitation, recording, and random sampling techniques by inviting speakers to communicate according to the type of data required. The data were analyzed descriptively to provide information to readers about the linguistic facts of the Makassar language integrated into Indonesian. The contact of the Makassar language with Indonesian resulted in the Makassar dialect of Indonesian. Indonesian Makassar dialect provides its own characteristics which contain politeness values with a higher degree of politeness compared to politeness in Indonesian. Politeness, respect, and respect for intra-ethnic and inter-ethnic are manifested in the presence of certain linguistic facts. The linguistic fact that marks the integration of Makassarese dialects into Indonesian is the participation of personal pronouns, both in free and bound forms, known as clitics. In addition, there are also some particles that characterize the character of the Makassar-Indonesian language as a strengthening of inter-ethnic communication in various aspects of life in a communal society.
