The Peranakan Chinese of Kelantan
"The Peranakan Chinese of Kelantan explores the formation and the ethnic development of these assimilated Chinese besides addressing their ethnicity/identity and culture. A linguistic analysis of the mother tongue of these unique Chinese with their sociolinguistic history forms a substantial portion of the book. It has detail discussion of the varieties of the language and borrowings of the local Malay dialect, local Thai language and standard or mainstream Hokkien as spoken in the state of Kelantan. It illustrates clearly the communication patterns and discourse organisation of their interaction with the wider society." "This is a comprehensive study of the language and linguistic behaviour of the Kelantan Peranakan Chinese community in Malaysia, a group who has assimilated extensively to the Kelantanese rural Malays, and to some extent to the Kelantan Thai community, culturally as well as linguistically."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Kelantan; a Handbook of Information
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1908 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER VIII. LANGUAGE. The universal language of the State is Malay. The Kelantan dialect is a fearsome-sounding jargon in the ear of the Malay of other parts, full of strange clippings and contortions, and sprinkled with words of local manufacture or of a Siamese origin, unknown in any other parts of Malaya. Yet, to the accustomed ear, this dialect is a musical one, for the Kelantan Malay delights in the use of vowels and inserts them freely in his words to avoid, wh...
MAK YONG THROUGH THE AGES: KELANTAN’S TRADITIONAL DANCE THEATRE
Mak yong, the ancient Malay dance theatre form, is associated principally with the southern Thai Patani province and the Malaysian state of Kelantan on the east coast of the Malay Peninsula. It is also active in Terengganu and in the Riau islands of Indonesia where it is staged in a significantly variant form. Mak yong comprises the elements of story, formal and informal spoken text, stylized dance and acting, vocal and instrumental music, as well as ritual. It is performed both for entertainment as well as for healing specific types of emotional and psychological ailments. Mak yong is undoubtedly the most important of all traditional Malay theatre forms in terms of its content as well as pe...
Ethnic Relations in Kelantan
Based on years of field work, this book examines the way in which non-Malay ethnic groups of the Kelantan Plain, particularly the Chinese and Thai minorities, have adapted culturally to their environment and analyzes their relationship to the larger Malay state. Focusing on a region in which the non-Malay groups are true minorities, Winzeler demonstrates that the non-Malay groups of villagers share many of the same cultural patterns-and problems-as their Malay counterparts. Finally, he suggests that religious or cultural differences alone do not generate ethnic conflict in the region.
Thai South and Malay North
The portion of the Malay Peninsula where the Thai Buddhist civilization of Thailand gives way to the Malay Muslim civilization of Malaysia is characterized by multiple forms of pluralism. This book examines a broad range of issues relating to the turmoil afflicting the region.
