1. What can we get from other languages ?

In generally, language is a very helpful for our life in the interaction between the other members. Because the language , we can understand what we want and others want, but if we can not use the good language, actually it will hurt ourselves and others because it may offend others. Or we can said misunderstanding. A. We can learn the differences dialect in a language, although still in a tribal. The differences of Malang Dialect and Yogya dialect : Malang = "Kon" is you ( but in Yogya you is kowe") Jogja = "Kon" abbreviation of kongkon (*ask) which is abbreviation "kon". in dialogue : Hatta: "Kon mangan ra?" *Hattas translate: Do you want eat ? *Bayus translate: do you ask us to eat?

Bayu: "Yo nek ngelih mangan wae to yo, ngopo ngenteni tak kongkon" "Yes, if I hungry, I will be eat, without you ask me B. We can distinguish between smooth and rough language in each tribe. In English, we can use YOU to everyone, both young and old. Also in The other city, like Makassar. You can use YOU to everyone. But in Javanese, you can not say YOU to older man. Because its not polite. Examples: why you dont like this?

Anngapana tena nuw eroki? * nuw is you ( use to everyone)

kenopo pajenenggan ora gellem? * pajenenggan (only use to older person)

2. Whether the language can Affect Human Behavior? Language is a system of symbols that are meaningful and articulate sound (generated by said instrument) which are arbitrary and conventional, which is used as a means of communicating by a group of human beings to give a birth to feelings and thoughts. Wibowo (2001:3),

Examples : Especially In Yogja Language , also has three levels of language, namely: * Language is very smooth (Krama Alus) * Language smooth (Krama Lugu / Ngoko Alus) * Common languages (Ngoko Lugu) Give

(Krama Alus ) (Krama Lugu/Ngoko Alus) (Ngoko Lugu) As several factors affect the subtle impression of Java language, namely: 1. Cultural factors of kedaton / palace. 2. Natural and environmental factors. 3. Factor of history and their ancestors. Language function and role of language in everydays as a communication tool, social control, social adaptability, and the interpretation of self-expression. With good language and correct also polite way of delivery with the right intonation, will make other people who listen become understand the intent and our purpose. With good communication indirectly demonstrate to others that we have a good manners.
