Abstract

The increasing dominance of global languages in digital spaces poses a threat to the preservation of regional languages, particularly among adolescents. This study examines the relationship between Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) and regional language maintenance among students at the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP), Tadulako University. A quantitative approach was employed with a purposive sample of 200 active undergraduate students aged 17–21 years who regularly use social media platforms such as WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter. Data were collected using two validated instruments: the Language Maintenance and Shift Scale (LMSS) and the FoMO Composite Scale (FMS). Descriptive statistics and Chi-Square analysis were used to examine the relationship between FoMO levels and regional language maintenance. Findings revealed a statistically significant relationship between FoMO and regional language maintenance (χ² = 93.05, p 0.01). Students with higher FoMO levels exhibited lower tendencies to maintain their regional language. Specifically, 38% of respondents with high FoMO demonstrated low language maintenance, while only 16% maintained a high level of commitment to their regional language. The results suggest that social anxiety and the need for digital connectedness contribute to the declining use of regional languages. This trend is exacerbated by the prevalence of global languages online, insufficient support from families and institutions, and a lack of cultural awareness. Efforts to preserve regional languages must involve collaborative strategies among families, educators, and policymakers to address psychosocial challenges and reframe local languages as relevant in digital and educational contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the forms, uncover the meanings, and explain the strategies employed to maintain the customs of the Bugis ethnic community in Palu City through oral literature, using a literary anthropology approach combined with an ethnographic method. The research was conducted in two Bugis settlement and trading centers, namely Pasar Inpres Manonda and Pasar Masomba, through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving sanro (ritual leaders), traditional figures, and participants of customary ceremonies. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, combined with oral-literary text analysis comprising transcription, structural identification, and meaning interpretation. The findings reveal that the maintenance of Bugis customs in Palu City is realized through three forms of oral literature displaying the structure of rites of passage (separation, liminal, and incorporation), namely the mabbaca doang ritual, the mappacci ritual, and elong recitation. These three forms embody the cultural values of reso, lempu', siri' na pesse, and getteng, which are symbolically interpreted through material elements such as four-colored sokko rice and pacci leaves, as well as metaphorical diction in the utterances. The strategies employed to maintain these customs include family- and diaspora-community-based value transmission, contextual adaptation of rituals with Islamic teachings through barasanji and mapenretemme, and the appropriation of digital media together with the Kerukunan Keluarga Sulawesi Selatan (KKSS) community association. These findings confirm that oral literature functions both as a medium and a marker of ethnic boundary, enabling the Bugis community to maintain its customs amid the multiethnic society of Palu City without withdrawing from cross-ethnic interaction with the Kaili people as the local indigenous population.
