Abstract
The current Romanised Spelling System being used for bahasa Malaysia and bahasa Indonesia is a recent development of a joint system inaugrated on the 16th of August 1972.Its
implementation as a medium of communication and dissemination of
is a success and has since showed signs of a healthy
development. It. is accepted and used widely by the various
sectors of the community.
Up to now there is hardly any serious research on the
various aspects of the corpus planning of the romanised spellinq
system as a whole which will be useful for the planning of
implementation and standardisation strategies.
Hence this thesis, the objective of which are as follows :
i) to provide a complete documentation on the corpus
planning of the Malay Romanised Spelling System from its early
days until recently,
ii) to formulate, so as to stablise, the various
aspects of the spelling system if necessary, and
iii) to suggest its planning and implementation strategy in the teachinq and learning processes of the spelling
system and the standard pronounciatat ion of the languaqe. To achieve the above aims this thesis first examines
historically, the development of the Romanised Spelling System
from the time when it first used the latin alphabet in the 16th
century until the formulation of the Common Romanised Spelling
System in 1972. The aim of this thesis is to show whether the
romanised spelling that was being used in a specified period in
its historical development symbolised the Malay phonological
system that existed then.
Section I of this thesis covers the theoretical aspect
of the language planning and its application in the various
developing countries within this 20 years. Section II, which
discusses the development of the Malay spelling system before the
20t century, studies the phonetic system in its archiac form
and relates it to the system of the 16th. The phonetic
representation using the latin alphabets in the early period is
done by studying two categories of documents: ( i ) dictionaries and word lists,
using the Italian, Dutch and latin spelling
system of the 16th. and 17th. century and (ii) dictionaries and
grammer as described according to the English language of
18th. and 19th. century the focus of attention being the
representation on of vowels and vowel harmony found in the Malay
language.
In the early part of the 20th. century, the planning of
the Romanised spelling system in Malaysia and in Indonesia took
