Abstract

This qualitative descriptive study aims to document and describe the rules of affixation and the grammatical sentence structure of the Sambas dialect of Malay in the village of Pasar Melayu, as part of an effort to preserve the language from the influence of modern languages. Spoken data was collected using the participant observation technique, digital recording devices and field notes, and was subsequently analysed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The research findings identified forty-six affixed words, comprising nineteen prefixes (te-, si-, ke-, ng-, nge-), thirteen infixes (-er-, -el-, -ng-), eleven suffixes (-kan, -an), and three confixes (be-an, te-kan). All of these affixes are still actively used in everyday communication and function grammatically in the formation of verbs, nouns and adjectives. This study serves as a reference for the preservation of regional languages as well as a basis for the development of teaching materials rooted in local wisdom.
