This channel provides a wonderful service. I had never heard of this language or even this island or community, and now I've looked into it as a fascinating new piece of the world.

This language sounds wonderful- the prosody is super interesting and it’s amazing to hear jokes being told in a language you might never have heard of!

100%! I love the ejectives, glottal stop and I think I even heard an implosive or two! I'd love to understand what they're saying!

Sinji bahasa anjak provinsi dipa? Ini bahasa dari provinsi mana?

[@kurtreyhans7441]

Bahasa Enggano berasal dari Pulau Enggano, Provinsi Bengkulu, kak. Di Provinsi Bengkulu terdapat 3 bahasa daerah, Bahasa Bengkulu yang terdiri atas beberapa dialek, Bahasa Rejang, dan Bahasa Enggano. Namun Bahasa Enggano bagi saya yang merupakan orang Bengkulu sangatlah berbeda dengan bahasa lainnya yang ada di Provinsi Bengkulu, bahkan saya tidak mengerti bahasanya meskipun saya bisa beberapa dialek dari Bahasa Bengkulu. Namun saya sangat suka mendengar Bahasa Enggano ini karena suaranya yang indah.

Bahas Enggano konon katanya masih menyimpan banyak katakata dari Mesir Kuno. 🎉🎉🎉❤
