Abstract

The latest statistics from the Department of Statistics in Singapore (2020) shows that more Malay families speak English at home. However, this trend is common across all ethnic groups in Singapore. Over the five decades of independence and enforcement of the bilingualism policy, the Malay language, which is the National Language and language commonly spoken in Malay households, is gradually being replaced with English. Other statistics reveal that the Malay language, which is the mother tongue of the majority of the Malays, is used less frequently, even from the early years of socialisation in a Malay household and the exposure of Malay only begins at the preschool level (Maliki, 2020). There is an assumption that, as long as the government maintains the Malay language in the education system through language learning in Singaporean schools, the bilingual policy will continue to maintain the usage of vernacular language. This development is likely to create more issues towards learning and teaching the Malay language as a mother tongue. Hence, this study utilises the approach of the sociology of language to discuss the reasons and impact of the language shift in efforts to preserve the status of the Malay language among the Singapore Malays.
新加坡统计局(2020)的最新统计数据显示,越来越多的马来家庭在家说英语。然而,这种趋势在新加坡的所有族群中都很普遍。在独立和实行双语政策的五十年里,作为国家语言和马来家庭常用语言的马来语正逐渐被英语所取代。其他统计数据显示,作为大多数马来人的母语,马来语的使用频率较低,甚至从马来家庭社会化的早期开始,马来语的接触只从学前阶段开始(Maliki, 2020)。有一种假设是,只要政府通过新加坡学校的语言学习在教育系统中保持马来语,双语政策将继续保持使用本地语言。这种发展可能会给马来语作为母语的学习和教学带来更多问题。因此,本研究利用语言社会学的方法来讨论语言转变的原因和影响,以努力保持马来语在新加坡马来人中的地位。
