Abstract

Limola is one of Indonesia’s endangered languages, makingit imperative to pass on Limola culture and language to a younger generation. The Limolalanguage revitalization program in Sassa Village, Baebunta District, North Luwu Regency, South Sulawesi Province seeks to preserve the Limola language and culture by teaching the younger generation Limola drama, songs, and poetry. Therefore, this study evaluates the key performance indicators of Limola culture and language learning in the revitalization program to identify the identity of the To Limola society after learning Limola culture and language, and (2) evaluate the implementation of the Limola language community-based revitalization. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach that involved desk study data collection techniques and in-depth interviews with the participants and instructors from the Limola language revitalization program. A sociolinguistic in termsof language and identity research approach was taken to analyzethe data and explore the local content in the language learning materials. The data analysis was also based on the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, and Product) evaluation model and language progress indicators to evaluate the implementation success. The results revealed that the Limola revitalization language learning materials have local content that strongly reflects the identity of the To Limola society. While the Limola language revitalization participants learned both the Limola language and culture, the implementation did not appear to have had a significant impact on increasing the interest of the younger generation in using the Limola language.

Abstract

The Limola language is a minority language spoken in South Sulawesi Province. Based on the number of speakers, which ranges between 100 and 600, the Limola language is at risk. This situation underscores the urgent need for preservation efforts. One approach to preserving the language is by assessing its vitality. The assessment of the Limola language aims to evaluate its current status and identify factors contributing to its vitality. These findings will inform future language preservation strategies. The study employs a descriptive qualitative method, with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and focus group discussions. Data analysis is based on UNESCO’s nine language vitality factors. The results indicate that Limola is classified as critically endangered, primarily because the To Limola community predominantly uses the Tae language for daily communication. The Limola language is mainly spoken by middle-aged and older generations, with limited documentation available. This highlights the urgent need for written resources as part of preventive measures to avoid its extinction.
