Abstract

The study "Cultural Values in Kaili Rai Oral Literature in Marana Village, Sindue District" aims to highlight the cultural values contained in Kaili Rai oral literature, which has been largely ignored and is at risk of extinction due to declining numbers of speakers. The research uses qualitative descriptive methods and interviews with local cultural actors to preserve the values and gain a clear understanding of the oral literature. The research findings indicate that some cultural values from the oral literature are still embedded in the everyday lives of community leaders in Marana Village, Sindue District. However, the younger generation has been exposed to outside cultures through electronic media, which has contaminated their understanding of these cultural values. The study's objective is to raise awareness of the importance of preserving regional literature and its cultural values for future generations.

The development of digitalization has contributed to the emergence of new languages. Cultural and regional backgrounds are also influential factors that cause the shift towards using Bahasa Indonesia. This qualitative research provides insights into how the use of slang in social media affects language use among teenagers in Palu.
