Intresting! I just knew that Boyanese = Baweanese. Being born and grew up in Surabaya, now living in Singapore, it's an eye opening that Bawean which is part of Gresik ( a small town west of Surabaya) has part in the history of Singapore Malay's culture. Honestly, before watching this, I thought Boyanese is sub-tribe from the Siamese origin. 😂

The Bawaenese people has different culture and principles from the Malays. Their food is different. The Bawaense people I know are very unique people to my experience. They are a good Commando for example Sanif Olek is one of them. They are really smart in terms of their academic achievement and very hardworking in whatever they do be it in public service and military and even private sectors. I am very lucky to meet them in my life and some of them become my good friends. We should be more aware and appreciate their services in their contribution to the nation. They are very interesting group of people.

Thanks for the perspective from a foreigner living in Singapore. Not only did you find it interesting but I find this video interesting too as a local. This is a good reminder amidst the travel ban to the locals that we can also learn and enjoy our melting pot of different cultures in our own backyard, as it certainly does not help that most (myself included) only make the effort to understand foreign culture as part of their travel experience. I think this is not just peculiar to Singapore, but perhaps more pronounced as we are a small city state that is focused on being international.

Bawean language is not Javanese anyway. Bawean language is distinctively different. It is closer to the Madura language. Having said that, the later generations mostly talk in Malay because of the educational system in Singapore which only teach Malay for all the ethnics of Malays. Over the years, proficiency in the dialect of Bawean waned. The same hold true for the Javanese, Bugis, etc. Most of the younger generation do not know how to speak in their ethnic dialect anymore. In addition, there's also a lot of inter-marriages with the Malays and the other ethnic Malays like Bugis and Javanese. Malay becomes the medium of choice for conversation. For me, I can understand the Bawean language but have difficulty speaking it. I used to reply in Malay to the questions posed to me in Baweanese by my parents or even relatives... the older ones who are still proficient in the language. My generation is probably the last to be able to understand the language, with the passing of our parents and older relatives.
