Minangkabaunese is the main local language originally used by Minangkabaunese people in West-Sumatera, Indonesia; it is one of local languages which belong to Malay language family. The native speakers of Minangkabaunese have been developing their cultural features, properties, and values in such a way that those may influence the forms and uses of the language. One aspect of cultural factors which can be directly seen is the fact that Minangkabaunese has the cultural-traditional style which is called in this paper as “bahasa pasambahan” (hence shortly called BP). The BP of Minangkabaunese is the stylistic forms and uses which are mostly influenced by the cultural-artistic forms and values developed by Minangkabaunese people. Consequently, BP sounds “more artistic” and more stylistic than formal and daily used styles. This paper, which is further derived and developed from a part of research result conducted in 2013 ‘Hibah Kompetensi’ (Jufrizal et.al., 2013), discusses the phenomena of BP whether it is the language style as a politeness strategy or just a stylistic language in Minangkabaunese. The data were collected through a field research and library study and the data were analyzed by means of the related theories of anthropological linguistics. The discussion and explanation on this topic give us opportunity to know and see deeply the interrelationship between language and culture, as a further verification on Sapir-Whorf hypothesis.

The reason is that they are able to communicate not only with the foreigner when they also speak international as well as the key national language, but also handsomely be able to explain as well as understand what the locals need through communication.
