This dataset captures the vibrant and dynamic linguistic variety found along the North Coast (Pantura) of Central Java Province, Indonesia. Unlike the inland varieties of Javanese which are heavily stratified, this dialect reflects the spirit of coastal communities. The language use of this dataset features the distinctive Ngapak phonology—specifically the heavy retention of the vowel /a/ (a-jejeg)—which sets it apart from the standard Solo-Yogyakarta dialect. This dataset offers a rich resource for analyzing the non-hierarchical registers often used in the north coast (Pantura) of Central Java Province, Indonesia. This dataset is essential for developing speech technologies that recognize and process regional accents outside the dominant standard Javanese.

The textual data utilizes the Latin alphabet. Special attention is given to the orthography of the vowel 'a' to strictly represent the acoustic properties of the Tegal-Pemalang dialect or Ngapak dialect region, distinguishing it from standard Javanese orthography conventions where 'a' might represent 'o'.
