ABSTRACT
The community's cultural diversity in Lampung, especially in Kalianda District, impacts the continuity of indigeneity, such as the fading use of the indigenous language of the Lampung region. The objectives of this study were to analyze (1) the tendency to use Lampung language as a means of communication in adolescents in Kalianda District, South Lampung; (2) the tendency to use Lampung language as a means of communication in adolescents in the family, peers, and schools. This research employed a qualitative approach involving the case study method. Data collection techniques were observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of this study revealed that (1) The tendency to use the Lampung language as a means of communication in Kalianda District had shifted and faded; (2) The Lampung language was still used by adolescents to communicate in the family environment, while they did not use it in peers, because they were more likely to use Indonesian mixed with slang. Furthermore, in school, adolescents were inclined to speak in standard and non-standard Indonesian.
