Pendahuluan
Orang-orang Sentani tinggal di pulau-pulau dan pantai danau Sentani, dekat Jayapura, ibu
kota propinsi Irian Jaya, Indonesia. Jumlah mereka melebihi 16.000 orang. Bahasa Sentani
adalah bahasa non-Austronesia, terdiri dari tiga dialek yang ditentukan oleh letak tempat
mereka di danau Sentani, yaitu Sentani Timur, Tengah, dan Barat.
Percakapan-percakapan dalam buku ini ditulis berdasarkan cara pembicaraan penduduk pulau
Ifar Besar, salah satu kampung yang berdialek Sentani Tengah. Kami harap percakapan-
percakapan dasar dalam bahasa Sentani ini akan dapat membantu para pengunjung untuk mengerti
dan menghargai keadaan sosial dan bahasa Sentani.

Pengucapan
Uraian singkat mengenai bunyi dan lambang bunyi berikut ini dimaksudkan untuk membantu
mereka yang mempelajari bahasa ini dalam menguasai cara-cara pengucapan, sedangkan kemurnian
dalam pengucapan itu sendiri hanya akan diperoleh dengan bantuan pembicara setempat dan
latihan-Iatihan sendiri. Para ahli ilmu bahasa yang ingin mengetahui lebih lanjut mengenai
fonologi bahasa Sentani ini dapat melihat M. Hartzler (1976).
Abjad yang dipakai disini, yang disesuaikan dengan sistim bahasa Indonesia, masih bersifat
sementara.
(1) Konsonan
Hambatan tak bersuara k, jika terdapat pada awal kata akan disertai dengan sedikit aspirasi
(udara keluar sedik~t mengikuti pelepasannya). Pada pertengahan kata, ~ menjadi seperti E,
dimana udara dan bunyi keluar secara serentak (sesungguhnya frikatif ~) .
Dalam bahasa Sentani, hambatan bersuara b akan terdengar antara bunyi ~ dan . Pada umumnya,
bunyi ini menyerupai ~ pada awal kata dan -pada pertengahan kata.
r adalah seperti dalam Bahasa Indonesia dan berganti menjadi t tanpa aspirasi pada awal kata.
, (hambatan glotal) menyatakan pengetatan dari saluran udara di glotis.
Konsonan-konsonan lainnya dapat dikatakan hampir sarna dengan Bahasa Indonesia atau Inggris.
(2) Vokal
Bahasa Sentani mempunyai tujuh vokal dengan beberapa variasi tergantung dari konteks
pengucapan.
ii
 i diucapkan seperti 'berani' dalam Bahasa Indonesia kecuali sebelum bunyi sengau, berbunyi
seperti J:. dalam 'tJ:.nggi'. -
e diucapkan seperti kate. 'enak' kecuali pada akhir kata atau segera sesudah i, dalam hal ini
diucapkan seperti vokal e dalam kata 'l~bar'. Foneme yang berbeda [8""':i:] (menyerupai vokal
dalam 'l~bah') biasanya ditulis oleh orang-orang Sentani dengan lambang ~ tanpa ambiguitas.
Para pembaca diharapkan untuk berhubangan dengan pembicara bahasa Sentani untuk mendapatkan
pengucapan yang jelas.
a adalah sama seperti dalam 'j~l~', dan ~ sarna seperti dalam Bahasa Inggris 'c~t'.

u adalah seperti '~jung', dan adalah sarna dengan 'cck'.

Para pembaca hendaknya memperhatikan peraturan-peraturan pengucapan berikut ini:
(a) Jika u terdapat antara vokal dan konsonan, maka secara otomatis akan terdapat bunyi w
sesudah konsonan, misalnya: ikeunge 'beri' diucapkan ikeungwe, tetapi ~ dalam puna 'dalam air'
akan tetap sama sebab tidak didahului oleh vokal lain.
(b) ~ diucapkan seperti 'a~in'; ngk diucapkan seperti dalam kata '~uk'.

(c) Tekanan terdapat pada silabe kedua dari akhir, kecuali bila silabe akhir berakhir dengan
konsonan atau hambatan glotal. Misalnya: unulu 'roh' dan ijem 'lurus'.

Tata Bahasa Ringkas

(1) Kata Benda
Kata benda selalu terdapat di muka kata-kata deskriptif:
(a) Kata sifat, contoh: ro kabam

kalirnat.
saya reyae kita eyae
karni rneyae
engkau weyae kalian meyae ( (meyaeJ)
ia neyae mereka neyae
Seringkali juga ka-~a ganti orang ini disingkatkan, seperti:

engkau, engkau
punya wa, waei
ia, dia punya na, naei mereka, mereka punya na, naei
Wa makeise?
engkau pergi kemana?

Introduction
The Sentani are a people whose traditional home is located on the islands and shores of
Lake Sentani, near Jayapura, the provincial capital of Irian Jaya, Indonesia. They number more
than 16,000. The Sentani language is Non-Austronesian, comprising three dialects designated by
their positions along Lake Sentani as Eastern, Central, and Western Sentani. These conversations
are based on the speech of the inhabitants of Ifar Besar, one of the villages of the Central
dialect.
It is hoped that these elementary conversations in the Sentani language will serve to
encourage visitors to understand and appreciate the linguistic and social richness of the
Sentani people.

Pronunciation
While the following brief description of Sentani sounds and symbols is intended to orient
the general student to major features of pronunciation, it must be emphasized that these and
other details of authentic Sentani speech production will only be accomplished with the
assistance of a Sentani speaker and some practice. Linguists seeking a more technical
treatment of Sentani phonology are referred to M. Hartzler (1976).
The alphabet is tentative and has been adapted to the Indonesian writing system with which
the Sentani are familiar.
(1) Consonants
Voiceless stop k, when occurring at the beginning of words, is accompanied by slight
aspiration (a small amount of air accompanies its release). In the middle of the word~ k
becomes more like ~, except that air is again expressed simultaneously with the sound (actually
a fricative g).
Voiced stop b in the Sentani language is actually heard as a sound midway between ~ and ~.
Generally, however, this sound most resembles ~ at the beginning of words, and ~ in the middle
of words.
r is flapped, as in Indonesian, and alternates with an unaspirated t at the beginning of
words.
, (glottal stop) represents a tightening of the air passage at the glottis.
Other consonants are roughly the same as in English or Indonesian.
viii
(2) Vowels
Sentani has seven vowels, with several variations depending on the context in which it is
articulated.
i is pronounced as in English 's~d', except before nasals. Then it sounds the same as the
i in 'r1,ng'.
e is pronounced as in 'fed', except when it is the last sound in a word, or immediately
prior to i, in which case it is pronounced like the vowel a in 'lame'. A distinct phoneme
[e~~] is-also regularly written by Sentani speakers with the ~ symbol without ambiguity.
Readers are referred to a Sentani speaker for pronunciation clarification of this sound.
a is the same as in 'f~ther', and ae is as in 'cat'.
u is like 'you', and 0 is similar to the British English pronunciation of 'cot'.
The reader should pay special attention also to the following pronunciation rules:
(a) When u occurs between another vowel and a consonant, it is automatically carried over
in the form of a ~ af"ser the consonant, e.g. ikeunge 'give' is pronounced as though spelled
ikeungwe, but ~ in puna 'in the water' remains the same, since it is not preceded by another
vowel.
(b) Qg is pronounced as in 'siQger'; ngk is pronounced as in 'fiQger'.
(c) Wo,'d stress (accent) occurs on the next to last syllable except when the last syllable
ends in a consonant or glottal stop, e.g. unulu 'spirit', and ijem 'straight'.

Brief Grammar
(1) Nouns
Nouns always occur before the following sets of descriptive words:
(a) adjectives, e.g. ro kabam
man big
manggo keleumong
cloud white

ix
 ( b) numbers, e.g. fa mbai
child one
Nouns always occur after demonstratives, e.g. nda imae
this house
Nouns occur after pronouns:
( a) Possessive, e.g. naei imae
his house
(b) Interrogative, e.g. ndele kakai?
whose boat?
(2) Pronouns
Sentani uses different pronouns for all persons, except the third person plural 'they',
which is the same as the third person singular 'he, she', for all positions in the sentence.
I reyae we (inclusive) eyae
we (exclusive) meyae
you (singular) weyae you (plural) meyae ([ meyae] )
he, she neyae they neyae
In all positions they can be (and often are) abbreviated, e.g.
I, my ra, raei we, our rna, maei
you, your wa, waei
he, his they na, naei
she, her na, naei

Wa makeise?
you go where?
Pete na miyae
Pete his wife
(3) Verbs
The verb is the most complex part of the Sentani language. It occurs in the clause in the
following order:
SUBJECT + OBJECT + VERB
x
The verb root can be followed by numerous suffixes, e.g.

Raijae ~m~e~____-~r~e~~__~~~__-~l~e~.
around noon come - first person - agreement particle
(root) Singular
future tense
'I will come around noon.'
The verb can also be prefixed, for example, with a negative:
Reyae namam nda rambung
o moko - i boi.
I not yet this thing
negative - do - negative - occurrence aspect
(root)
'I have not yet done this thing.'
The verb may be preceded by any adverb, e.g.
Benem nda a melau-melauke eleiko.
again this word slowly say
'Say this word again slowly.'
A more complete description of the Sentani verb is given in D. Hartzler (1976).
(4) Sentences
The structure of the simple sentence (clause) is:
SUBJECT + OBJECT + VERB
Some basic examples of sentence types are as follows:
( a) Questions
Weyae makeise elere?

'Where are you going?'
Weyae ka -re heubondere?
