Meaning of sebutan baku | Babel Free

Definitions

1. The pronunciation standard of a language that is most widely seen as correct.
2. The artificial standardized accent of Malay where every letter has only one phonetic value as opposed to representing a phoneme which has various allophonic realizations (e.g. ⟨k⟩ is only pronounced as [k] as opposed to as [k] syllable-initially and as [ʔ] syllable-finally).
