Abstract

This research is motivated by the differences and similarities in the phonetic systems of Indonesian and Thai Patani Malay. While both are Austronesian languages that have a close kinship correlation. The research aimed at analyzing the differences and similarities in the phonetic systems of Indonesian and Thai Patani Malay. The main method used in this comparative research was a contrastive analysis between the phonetics of Indonesian and Thai Patani Malay. The research object was the phonetic system of the two languages. Research data were obtained from audio recordings, interviews, and spoken texts from native speakers of both languages. Data analysis techniques were through segmental analysis, suprasegmental analysis, analysis of sound characteristics, and phoneme analysis. The study population consisted of native speakers of both languages and the Patani Malay community. The sample was selected supportively by considering variations in age, gender, education, socio-cultural background, dialect and sub-dialect. The research results show that there are significant differences in the phonetic systems of Indonesian and Thai Patani Malay. The Indonesian phonetic system is simpler and more stable than Thai Patani Malay. Indonesian has fewer phonemes; 20 phonemes, compared to Thai Patani Malay which has 28 phonemes, with a variety of different sounds and vowel patterns. Indonesian has a simpler vowel pattern, with only 3 short vowels and 3 long vowels. Thai Patani Malay has more complex vowel pattern, with 6 short vowels and 5 long vowels. These differences in the phonemic systems of Indonesian and Thai Patani Malay can cause phonemic interference in speakers of both languages. Phonemic interference can occur in the form of errors in pronunciation, comprehension, and writing.
