Some of the literary milestones that developed in the colonial period include:
In addition to Mandailing Angkola's literary language, it is important to note the growth of Malay-language Indonesian literature adopting local color: for example, the novel Azab dan Sengsara (1921) written by Merari Siregar. This novel includes contextual customs and cultures such as forced marriage, inheritance, kinship relations, and the local traditions of Mandailing-Angkola. [3]
Contemporary Mandailing literature is no longer developed since pre-independence, as the changing national education curriculum using the national language by itself erodes the use of Mandailing languages. [3]
Lyrics and musical dramas in the Mandailing language include:
Pangaduan Lubis proposes that Mandailing has five registers, each having a distinct vocabulary: [4]
Examples of vocabulary:
English | Indonesian | Hata somal | Hata andung | Hata teas | Hata si baso | Hata parkapur |

betel leaf | daun sirih | burangir | simanggurak | - | situngguk | |
tiger | harimau | babiat | - | - | - | ompungi/namaradati |
In the past, the Mandailing people also had a particular communication tool or kind of language called Hata bulung-bulung ('foliage language'). This language is not a symbol of sound but uses the leaves of plants as a symbol. [6] [4]
