Migrasi dan Lanskap Baharu Dialek di Johor.

The influence of inter-regional and intra-regional migration has made the state of Johor as one of the most vibrant in the variation of subdialects and languages. The factor for the distribution of the standard language of /ə/ (schwa) which centralized in Johor was not able to prevent the changes and the usage of migrants languages, which resulted from the migration. Asmah(1986)'s suggestion to categorize three sub-dialects of Johor Malay language will be reiterated in this study. This study focuses on the identification of languages and dialects used in the state of Johor, the effects of migration and mapping new isoglosses in dialect landscapes in the state of Johor by utilizing the Geographic Information System (GIS) software. The study implemented a field study method that involved 123 villages with 900 informants and 40 lexical data throughout Johor. Informants are teenagers, adults and the elderly who helped to provide dialects and languages input in Johor. This study has successfully replaced the categorization of three sub-dialects by Asmah. At the same time, this study showed four significant use of languages other than the Johor dialects such as Javanese, Bugis, Banjar and Minang as a result of inter-regional migration. The effect of intra-regional migration also shows that there are Malay dialects of Kelantan, Terengganu and Malacca spoken in Johor. As a result, migrations in particular that involve the inter-region and intra- regional have indirectly paved the landscape for the use of new dialects and languages in the state of Johor.
