“…Lack of concern about this situation has also exacerbated the extinction of the lexicons. Thus, there must be a continuous effort to maintain and preserve them to avoid extinction (Perrault, Farrell, & Davies, 2017;Majzuba & Rais, 2011). Documenting the endangered language is one of the efforts to preserve that language (Kraisame, 2018;Bird, 2010).…”

This study aims at identifying the concepts and the lexicons of traditional Balinese houses in Menyali Village, Sawan District, Buleleng Regency. This study is a descriptive qualitative research that involved three respondents, who were selected purposively. The data were collected through interviews and observation and analyzed using an interactive data analysis model. This study found that the Menyali community views that the tri mandala concept underlines its traditional house's spatial pattern. It includes nista (the profane lying), madya (middle lying for living area), and utama (the highest and holiest lying). It is also spiritually connected to two spiritual concepts, kangin-kauh (the directional axis of sunrise and sunset) and kaje-kelod (the directional axis of mountain and sea). This study identified 24 lexicons connected to the utama mandala, 7 to the madya mandala, and 5 to the nista mandala. The lexicon number is influenced by the area function and the rituals held in those areas.

Purpose of the study: In Nepal, indigenous languages are in danger of disappearing and if the situation does not improve, the dying trend will continue to increase in the future. Thus, this paper aims to explore barriers to indigenous language activities and strategies for revitalizing these dying languages of Nepal. Methodology: To address this objective, the study adopted the qualitative research method, using the data collected from the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and secondary sources such as the existing literature through print and online sources. The results were presented thematically and discussed for qualitative analysis. Main findings: The overall results of the study indicated that an inclusive language policy should be adopted by the government to accommodate indigenous languages of Nepal, indigenous language communities should be encouraged by the government to insist on speaking their languages, and language communities are also required to collaborate with the government to address the issues related to improving the preservation and promotion of indigenous languages of Nepal. Applications of this study: The outcome of this particular research can be a beneficial act for engaging indigenous communities of Nepal in language revival and protecting threatened languages from extinction. It is the responsibility of the researchers that are expected by each of various indigenous language communities in particular and the Nepali society at large. Novelty/Originality of this Study: Indigenous languages are often considered by many as 'heritage languages' and are used to describe languages that are often in the endangered list. No studies are found on the use of indigenous languages and language revival efforts in the study area such as barriers that prevented indigenous language groups from participating in language activities and ways that can preserve and promote such dying languages in the study area.
