Abstract

This research investigates the language attitudes of the Cina Benteng community in Tangerang, focusing on how members of the community perceive, value, and use their native language in contrast with dominant languages such as Bahasa Indonesia and English. The study is grounded in sociolinguistic theory, particularly the concept of language attitude, which provides a lens to understand how cultural identity, social change, and linguistic behavior interact. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through interviews and questionnaires involving respondents from different age groups to capture generational variations in language perception. The analysis process involved thematic categorization based on aspects such as language preference, cultural expression, language shift, and intergenerational transmission. The findings show a complex interplay between pride in cultural heritage and the pressure to assimilate linguistically, with older generations generally displaying stronger positive attitudes toward maintaining the native language, while younger members tend to prefer more dominant languages for practical and social reasons. These insights underline the need for strategic efforts in language preservation, cultural education, and community engagement to sustain the linguistic identity of the Cina Benteng people.
