The Language of Tegal

Tegal has its own language, known as Bahasa Tegal. Some Indonesian comedians speak it because its accent and dialect arouse amusement. The greeting "How are you?" translates to "Kepriben kabare?"

SlangEdit

It is common practice for people in Tegal to call their friends "Jon", "Jack" or "Jakwir". The translation for "Daddy" is Jasak, "Mommy" is Jok, a younger brother is addressed as Yarig and an older brother as Sahang. Many other words can only be understood by native Tegals. Bahasa Tegal also has many Arabic loan words.
