Abstract

Language use refers to the way speakers of a language use their language in different situations and contexts, including variations in written and spoken language. This research aimed to explore the dynamics of Bahasa Tansi use by the Sawahlunto community. It focused not only on language use at and outside but also on language use by children and the younger generation, as well as the language attitudes of the Sawahlunto people towards Bahasa Tansi. The research used a descriptive approach with data collection methods including Swadesh lists, questionnaires, and interviews with native Tansi speakers in Tansi Baru and Sikalang Village. The results showed that based on the lexical and phonological analysis of the Swadesh list, Bahasa Tansi was classified as a creole and was still not strong enough to be categorized as a language. These findings were derived from a comparative analysis of 206 words from the Swadesh list comparing Minangkabau and Bahasa Tansi. To this day, Bahasa Tansi is still used by the people of Sawahlunto in daily communication, with questionnaire results showing 86.8%. The community's positive attitude towards Tansi was also reflected in the questionnaire results, reaching 94%.

Abstract

This study aimed to find out whether Tansi speakers still maintain their language and the efforts made by Tansi speakers to maintain it. Using mixed methods,this research analyzed the similarities and differences between the Minangkabau and Tansi languages and identify factors that influence maintenance and intutional maintenance. Ten data sources in this research came from the Tansi community in Tangsi Baru (Lembah Segar District) and Sikalang Village (Talawi District).In conclussion, Tansi is still widely and consistently used in homes and among family speakers. In addition, speakers actively teach Tansi to their children, indicating an awareness of language maintenance. Although initiatives such as language contests and local government support for language maintenance are present, they are still not systematic enough. Thus, maintaining the continuity of the Tansi language outside the family environment must continue to be done in order to maintain the Tansi language for the next generation.
