In addition language contact also causes a speech community to be bilingual. Language contact may cause changes in the part of language such as at levels of spelling, pronunciation, lexical, and grammatical. When two or more languages come into contact, it brings great effect for those languages which are not realized by the speech community. The changes faced by the language are caused by many factors, one of them is it comes into contact with others. Related to this, Schendell (2001:55) states that all physical aspects are subject to change and so do languages. Furthermore, the use of language is pretty much influenced by the culture and it will change along the changes faced by the people. It can not be separated from the culture or the society in which it belongs because it is an important part of culture. As a tool of communication people use it to express their needs, ideas, thoughts, and feelings. Language is a basic need of human being to interact each other.
