Buku The Walls and the Bridges Diglossia, Translanguaging, and the Making of a Multilingual Society in Central Kalimantan

This book takes readers into the vibrant multilingual world of Central Kalimantan, where everyday communication is shaped by a constant negotiation between what institutions expect and what people actually do. Instead of treating diglossia and translanguaging as opposing ideas, authors weave them together to reveal a richer, more human picture of how language works in real life. Through this lens, language is not just a system: it is identity, creativity, and survival.

Drawing on stories and observations from families, markets, schools, and religious spaces, the book shows how multilingualism plays out differently in each setting. In the home, families mix languages to stay connected across generations. In the market, vendors switch effortlessly between tongues to attract customers and earn a living. Schools, however, emerge as the battleground where rigid language rules clash with students’ natural multilingual instincts, often deepening inequality. Meanwhile, in religious life, formal “high” languages hold symbolic power, but people rely on translanguaging to make spiritual teachings personal and relevant.

By the end, one message stands out clearly: multilingual societies are built through the constant dance between structure and human agency. Institutions create the walls, but people build the bridges. Through its grounded, empathetic approach, this book invites scholars, students, and policymakers to rethink what it truly means to live and thrive in a linguistically diverse world.
