Abstract

This study aimed to describe the organological aspects of making and playing the Canang kayu (wooden canang) instrument. Canang kayu is one of the local musical instruments from Aceh Singkil Regency. It is included as a percussion instrument and classified as an idiophone (a solid musical instrument whose sound comes from the instrument itself). This musical instrument is a form of xylophone (a percussion instrument consisting of a series of wooden blocks placed horizontally and struck with a unique beater). A qualitative method was applied in this study. Data were collected through observation participation, literature studies, and interviews with the Canang kayu makers, Canang kayu players, and staff in Majelis Adat Aceh Singkil (Aceh Singkil Traditional Council). The data source was pictures of Canang kayu and interview recordings with informants. The result of the study showed that the primary raw materials for canning kayu are bamboo and tree wood/Terentang putih tree (local people also call it cupping wood). Terentang putih tree (Campnosperma auriculatum) is a type of tree that grows in swamps. This tree can be found near Aceh Singkil forest. It is pretty difficult to find at present. The material for making Canang kayu should consider the size, tool used, raw material, and the making process. For playing technique, Canang kayu can be played by placing it on feet or a container. The Canang kayu instrument has a strong relationship with maintaining its material and local knowledge of making concepts that seize the cultural values of the Aceh Singkil people. It can be concluded that the making and playing technique is an effort to preserve one of Aceh Singkil's cultural heritages toward the identity and important insights in enriching knowledge about Canang kayu as an Aceh Singkil traditional art.

Abstract

This study explores the linguistic kinship between the Sibolga Coastal Malay and Mandailing languages using the lexicostatistical method. Both languages belong to the Austronesian family and are spoken in close geographical proximity, raising questions about their historical relationship. By utilizing a 200-word Swadesh list, the research identifies shared lexical items and phonemic correspondences between the two languages. The findings reveal a lexical similarity of 38%, classifying the two as part of the same language family. Based on the lexicostatistical formula, the separation between the two languages is estimated to have occurred around 2,230 years ago, or approximately between 382 and 32 BCE, considering a standard error margin. This suggests that Sibolga Coastal Malay and Mandailing evolved from a common proto-language, with divergence influenced by geographical and sociocultural factors. The study provides valuable insight into historical language development in North Sumatra and emphasizes the importance of comparative linguistics in tracing the evolution of regional languages. These results also support the hypothesis that Malay and Mandailing linguistic features have undergone gradual yet distinct phonological and lexical changes over time.
