Ethnopoetics of Baraa Nangis Isantuk Paingko Arung in the Dayak Tamambaloh Tribe

Baraa Nangis Isantuk Paingko Arung (BNIPA) is an oral literary tradition of the Tamambaloh Dayak community in the form of folklore performed through recitative and repetitive singing. This oral literature is endangered due to modernization and globalization, declining interest among younger generations, a decreasing number of speakers, and the lack of proper documentation. This study aims to describe the poetic structure, narrative patterns, and local wisdom values contained in BNIPA. The research employs a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach and was conducted in Temau Village, Embaloh Hulu District, Kapuas Hulu Regency, West Kalimantan. The data consist of BNIPA utterances in the form of words and sentences that were transcribed from spoken to written language. Data were collected through observation, interviews, listening, and note-taking. Data analysis was carried out inductively through data identification, organization, analysis, and conclusion. The results show that BNIPA has a poetic structure characterized by regular rhythm, strong emphasis at the end of lines, repetition of syllables and sounds, and word patterns such as parallelism, rhyme, alliteration, and figurative language. BNIPA also has a narrative structure consisting of an opening, content, and closing. The local wisdom values found in BNIPA include wisdom, spirituality, morality, respect for ancestors and nature, and social harmony.
