Abstract

This study examines the historical processes that shaped the Sindang language as a linguistic identity of the Sindang community. Grounded in the understanding that a territory is not merely a geographical space but also a determinant of linguistic identity, this research combines historical methods with a linguistic approach to interpret the Sindang language as a socio-cultural product formed through the collective experiences of its speakers. The historical method is applied through the stages of heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography to reconstruct the dynamics of the Sindang region, including administrative changes, the formation of marga (clan) structures, and the influence of colonial policies. The linguistic approach complements this analysis by examining the features of the Sindang language, its distribution, and its relationship with surrounding speech communities, highlighting how social interactions contribute to linguistic identity formation. The novelty of this research lies in its specific focus on linking the historical development of the Sindang region with the emergence of its linguistic identity. To date, no study has systematically analyzed the interplay between territorial history, socio-political processes, and the evolution of the Sindang language. The findings reveal that the linguistic identity of Sindang is a historical construction shaped by layered social processes, population mobility, and shifting territorial boundaries. This study affirms that the Sindang language functions not only as a means of communication but also as a representation of the enduring cultural identity of the Sindang community.

Abstract

Aksara Ulu is an ancient written cultural heritage that developed in the inland region of South Sumatra, including Lubuk Linggau City. This study aims to examine the existence, transformation, and preservation efforts of Aksara Ulu in Lubuk Linggau within a modern context. The method used is descriptive qualitative, utilizing primary data in the form of archives, ancient manuscripts, field observations, and interviews, as well as secondary data from books, journals, and other supporting documents. The results show that the existence of Aksara Ulu in Lubuk Linggau is evidenced by the discovery of ancient manuscripts made of bamboo (gelumpay), buffalo horn, and other traditional media. In the past, this script was used for customary purposes, medicine, law, family genealogy, and social communication. Historically, Aksara Ulu in Lubuk Linggau is closely related to the writing tradition of the Musi Ulu region and shows similarities to the Rejang Script (KaGaNga) in Bengkulu. However, the use of this script has declined due to the influence of colonialism, the introduction of Jawi script, the dominance of the Latin alphabet, and weak intergenerational transmission. Preservation efforts have been carried out through digitalization, literacy training, development of learning media, integration into arts and culture, and policies of the Lubuk Linggau City Government through local content curricula in elementary and junior high schools. This study concludes that Aksara Ulu is not only valuable as a historical legacy but also has strategic potential as a local cultural identity relevant to be developed in the modern era.
