When we reach Banjarmasin and we are still in the plane. I saw the top view of Banjarmasin, then I was wondering why this place is similar to our place in Philippines and it seems like there’s a lot of water forms. And I was right about what I thought because Banjarmasin is known to be “A City of a Thousand Rivers or River City”.
Bandjermasin or Bandjarmasin, Chinese: pinyin is the capital of South Kalimantan, Indonesia.
It is the biggest and the densest city in Kalimantan. This city is one of the biggest cities in Indonesia and outside of Java Island. The width of this city is around 72 km2 which the area is divided into delta or islands that are consisted of 25 island—Tatas Island, Kelayan, Rantauan Keliling Island, Insane Island, atc. Pointed out of the BPS data of Banjarmsin in 2015, Banjarmasin has estimated population around 722,357 with density around 7,300/km2 (19,000/sq mi). Banjarese language is the regional language that spread out and being used in the widest area in indonesia (267.884 km2, around two times of Java Island). It is covering the whole range of South kalimantan, central kalimantan (it is being lingua franca among the subethnich of Dayak), and a half of west kalimantan. the language is not merely spoken by civilan of borneo island but also by other people from different island, like as Tembilahan (Riau), Kuala Tungkal (Jambi), and some of urban or rural areas in the east coast of sumatra. the banjarese language is the archaic of Malay, which has a lot of similarities with kutai and brunei/kedayan language. It has also a resemblance terminology with javanese, sundanese, minang, dayakngaju, etc.
