    • Abstract:
      Traditional dialect studies in Malaysia have widely been explored. These studies managed to group all the phonological variants which produce various Malay dialects in Malaysia. Then there were progresses in terms of producing isoglosses which were drew impressionistically on the maps in the studies of geographical dialects. However, there were gaps in the dialect studies for some time before the dialect studies with Geographic Information System (GIS) application was introduced. This technology-based study has the ability to produce isogloss maps using the overlay technique and choropleth marking for the sound variants precisely. This article aims to explain the influence for the dissemination of Thai Malay dialects by applying GIS. This study involves the states of Perlis, Kedah Langkawi, Penang and Perak. This multidisciplinary study explains how non-linguistics factors such as geography, migration and history as well as linguistics factors shape the distribution of the Malay dialects in the northern Peninsular Malaysia in particular. More than a thousand respondents were involved who were divided into three age categories namely, the elderly (50 and older), adults (26-49 years) and adolescents (15-25 years). Respondents were interviewed and required to answer questionnaires. Forty (40) word lists related to respondents' lives were selected. The result shows that there is a widespread of Thai Malay dialects in Malaysia. Interestingly, the dialects are not only the Patani dialect but also the Satun dialect especially in Langkawi and Perlis. GIS application has not only been able to accurately reproduce isoglosses but have proven that non-linguistic factors are additional factors that explained the reasons for dialects to disseminate in an area.
