ABSTRACT

Indonesia has many islands inhabited by people consisting of various tribes. Javanese people have Javanese as their mother tongue and Indonesian as their second language. In its development, some Javanese people, especially the younger generation, are less able to speak Javanese properly. The Javanese language which has the speech level of ngoko and krama is no longer controlled by some of the younger generations. This qualitative research aims to reveal the Javanese language skills of Javanese krama in the young generation of Java. The data collection technique is done by listening and recording techniques. The research location is the household and public places in the Magelang area. This research problem is examined from a sociolinguistic point of view. The data analysis technique was carried out using the speech component theory proposed by Hymes (1974) and the Javanese speech level theory by Poedjosoedarmo (1968). Based on the results of this study, it is known that some of the young generations are less able to speak Javanese krama correctly. They tend to only be able to speak Javanese ngoko. When they use Javanese, both ngoko and krama, there tends to be interference with Indonesian. This is caused, among other things, by the absence of Javanese language inheritance from parents or families to their children. In some Javanese people, Javanese is no longer used as a mother tongue. They tend to use Indonesian, both in the family sphere and in public places.
