Serawai is the name of an ethnic group natives to the Province of Bengkulu. This ethnic is indeed the second major ethnic live in the Province of Bengkulu, after the people of Rejang. They mainly inhabit the area of Southern part of Bengkulu’s province. However, they are also spread over across the province, and also another part of Indonesia. They do have their own dialect, a derivation of Malay language.
Bengkulu is a one of unique province in Indonesia where they have so many languages dialect..and I am proud to be People of Bengkulu (Serawai Tribe - Jemo Serawai)
ReplyDeleteMy grandfather was born in Bengkulu but migrated to Malaya during the Dutch occupation of Bengkulu. He migrated not because of fear, but because the Dutch cowardly captured the women and children. I can proudly say that I have 100% Serawai in my blood. I speak Serawai with my mom and siblings. I also speak Lembak dialect as well.
