American Linguistics Society, There are nearly 7000 different languages ​​in the world. However, a new language "Jedec" not included in this 7,000 different languages ​​was found in the village in the northern part of the Malay Peninsula. Jedek was found in a project called "Tongues of the Semang" which was researched by researchers at Lund University in Sweden. This project is a hunter gatherer living in the mountainous region of the Malay PeninsulaSeman tribeTo useAustro Asian LanguageBelonging to "Aslian(Athlian) "to document the language called.

A researcher who was participating in a project called "Tongues of the Semang" studied about the "Jahai (Jahai)" word used in a village, and all the people living in the village use Jahai I heard that I realized there was nothing. Joanne Yager, one of the researchers, said, "We noticed that most of the village speaks a different language from the Jahai language, they are not using jahaii words, phonemes, grammatical structures In the words used, it is suggested from the village where the survey was carried out a connection with the Athurian word used far away from the village. "


It was discovered here in Jedecu that about 280 people living in the village used this language. Incidentally,NPRAccording to Jedek, those who use the language are part of hunter gatherers living along the Pergau River.

There seemed to be an anthropologist who has conducted linguistic research in the village until now, but this time it was the first time that the Jedec language was recorded. The reason why Jedek was not noticed in the past is said to be because "Jedec language may not have an official name." The researchers who discovered that this unknown language named "Jedek" were spelled based on frequently used terms.

Although Jedek does not have words concerning ownership, such as theft and trading, it has complicated vocabulary concerning sharing and exchanging. This seems to be because in villages in which Jedec language is spoken, violence and conflict between children are not recommended, and elements such as law, trial, occupation do not exist.
