Betawi language originally belongs to Austronesian language with a full name of Melayu-Betawi. This language is considered as one of Malay dialects, but historically it grew together with other major languages, such as Arabic, Hokkien, Sundanese, Javanese, and Malay in Sumatra - a tiny portion with Portuguese and Dutch. The language vitality status is Endangered according to https://www.ethnologue.com/language/bew/. At the moment, Indonesian standard and English in general influence the native speakers, allowing code switching and code mixing happens in a spontaneous speech. The specific variation of this dataset is Betawi Ora or Betawi Pinggiran (Peripheral Betawi), taken from several locations of Bekasi District/City, West Java Province, Indonesia. This variation is unique in terms of geo-politics: language is spoken only in the community, but it is not taught at school. Instead, the community is taught Sundanese language, which is dominated in West Java Province in general.
