CLOSING

Thanks for God to help me in arranged this project. In this project, I research
sabu’s language. In this language, I found that sabu’s language was unique. I
mean that, in some words, for example BADJU (T-SHIRT), the sound of DJU
is almost same with JU, and there are many words more that same as those
word in up. For example, DJUKA LODO (SINGING), and WUDJU (
CRAZY).
