Also in this community, there is almost no conflict between individuals. People here encourage their children to not compete with others. And perhaps because of that, they have no law or court.

Joanne Yager, a Lund graduate student, said: "It is important to keep documents with minority languages, such as Jedek, because it provides us with insight into literature. chemistry and human awareness ".

Niclas Burenhult, associate professor of general linguistics at Lund University, who collected the first language materials from Jedek speakers, said Jedek is not a language spoken by a ethnic group. Minority people who have never known living in forest use, but the language spoken in a village previously studied by anthropologists.

"As linguists, we have another set of questions and have discovered the problem that anthropologists miss , " he said.

Jekek is a variant of the Austroasiatic Aslian language, currently only 280 people are speaking this language.

Researchers have discovered this language for the first time in a project documenting language material called "Tongues of the Semang".

In the process, they visited many villages and collected linguistic material from different groups of people speaking the variations of the Aslian language.
