WRITING: Simple Writing
My daughter has difficulty in understanding
my article in my blog. I have to think seven times what is wrong with my
Indonesia sentences. It seems that I don't write it in simple sentences. In
fact stating something in a simple way is not too easy. It is not too easy
whether I state it in my mother tongue, first language, Indonesian language, or
English. When I try to say and to write my simple idea in my first and my
mother tongue, in Indonesian and also in English, the problem that I face is
the same. I cannot guarantee that my first or my mother tongue is good enough,
whether it is in spoken or written form. I will have difficulty to express my
idea in my mother tongue. As it is known that my mother tongue is Javanese.
Linguists divide Javanese into standard Javanese and non-standard Javanese. My
mother tongue belongs to non-standard one. In simple way, the spelling of some
words is different from standard and non-standard one. "a" in a
certain word is pronounce to be "O". An example Javanese word
"mangga" is pronounced "monggo" in standard Javanese, but
it is pronounced "mangga" in non-standard one. I have to overcome my
mastery of Javanese speech levels too. As you know Javanese is not a simple
language like the other languages. Javanese is a stratified language, in which low and high speech levels
exist there.
It is not a simple writing.
