Abstract

The primary aim of this paper is to examine the degree of language vitality in the Banggai District by analysing patterns of language usage and intergenerational language transmission within the family domain. Luwuk Banggai serves as the primary hub for educational and commercial activities within the Banggai Regency. The presence of diverse languages in the Banggai Region has resulted in a multilingual society. The Malay Manado language is frequently employed as a lingua franca in addition to the Indonesian language and the three other indigenous languages. The prevalence of these two languages has been contributing to the gradual decline or potential extinction of the Balantak, Banggai, and Saluan languages in the near future. The Balantak Language warrants greater attention due to its relatively small number of speakers in comparison to the two other indigenous languages. This study examines the factors that influence the preservation of local languages within the family domain, as well as the specific areas in which these languages are maintained. Additionally, the obstacles encountered in this preservation process are explored. The research employs a qualitative methodology. The data are acquired by the utilisation of observation, interviews, and document analysis techniques. The present study has identified multiple elements that provide obstacles in the preservation and upkeep of this particular language.

Abstract

Sekaten tradition is an ancestral cultural heritage that has lasted since the days of the Islamic Mataram Kingdom. This tradition holds a philosophical meaning about the relationship of man with the Creator through the Sekaten tradition. In addition, the Sekaten procession also reflects the spirit of mutual cooperation that is closely inherent in Javanese society. Unfortunately, in today's modern era, the enthusiasm of the younger generation towards Sekaten is fading. This may threaten the preservation of this tradition in the future. Efforts to revitalize Sekaten need to be done by exploring the philosophical values and local wisdom contained in it. This excavation is important so that the meaning of this tradition remains relevant for the millennial generation. In addition, it is necessary to socialize and assist young people to love and preserve Sekaten as a local cultural identity that should be maintained. The participation of all components of society is necessary in order to maintain the existence of Sekaten in the midst of modernization, so that ancestral values are maintained and timeless by the changing times.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the inheritance of consonant phonemes from Proto-Austronesian (PAN) to Mandailing Language (BM), as part of the Austronesian language family. The method used is the comparative historical method with a focus on analyzing basic Swadesh vocabulary collected from native speakers in Panyabungan, Mandailing Natal. The diachronic analysis shows that BM preserved some phonemes from PAN while undergoing significant changes in some consonants. The results show patterns of phonetic changes of PAN to BM consonants, including changes of /b/ to /b/ or /m/, /k/ to /h/ in the penultima position, /z/ to /j/ in the ultima position, /l/ to /n/ in the ultima position, and changes of /h/ to missing in the ultima position. These changes provide deep insights into phonological evolution in BM, indicating a PAN linguistic heritage with innovative variations in word phonology and morphology. The findings support the theory of language evolution and make an important contribution to the understanding of Austronesian historical linguistics.
