Assalamualaikum! Nama gua Andy. Gimana kabar lu?
Hello! My name is Andy. How are you?
Let's talk about the Betawi Ora dialect.

Betawi Ora, also known as Betawi Pinggir or Betawi Udik, is a dialect of the Betawi language, a Malay-based creole distinct from Betawi Kota, which retains more traditional Malay features. Betawi Ora is marked by heavy influences from Sundanese and Javanese, with a unique vocabulary and a loud, harsh accent. Historically, Betawi Ora evolved as speakers in Sundanese-speaking regions gradually adopted this dialect, which locals of Betawi Kota sometimes refer to as "Betawi Kampung."

The dialect originated from the creolization of Jakarta’s multi-ethnic communities starting in the 15th century, eventually spreading inland via the Cisadane and Ciliwung rivers. This inland spread brought Northern Sundanese influence, particularly as Betawi speakers moved into Tangerang, Bogor, Karawang, and Bekasi. While Betawi Kota is mainly spoken in central Jakarta, Betawi Ora is more prevalent in the suburbs and surrounding cities, especially after urbanization in the 1960s and 1970s, which expanded the traditional Betawi-speaking areas. Today, Betawi Ora has an estimated 5 million speakers, including those who also speak Betawi Kota.
