ABSTRACT
The oral tradition of Javanese culture in North Sumatra is undergoing a shift that the Javanese in the area can no longer afford. This shift occurs not only because it is carried away by the current changing times, but also family and environmental factors have great potential in its movement. For example, their family or their parents did not introduce Javanese oral traditions to them. Especially at the present time that teenagers are much more interested in technological developments and continue to be trapped in it. As a result, the future generations of this country begin to lose their view of life as a culture as their identity. This is the background for conducting this research. The purpose of this research is to examine the Deli Javanese oral tradition and the process of fading Javanese culture in the community in the city of Binjai. This type of research is descriptive qualitative. This research used triangulation technique. The results of this study indicate that after the emergence of a second generation called Heredity Javanese or Deli Javanese. In general, these Heredity Javanese descendants began not to use the original Javanese traditions. The emergence of the Deli Javanese or Javanese Heredity began to diminish the values of the original Javanese oral tradition and this finding strengthens the statement that the Javanese oral tradition from generation to generation even now in North Sumatra has experienced fading and is threatened with extinction.
