“…The relationship between language and culture, in general, has been explored by many researchers, including Boas (Boas, 1942), Kramsch (Kramsch, 2014), Hoijer (Hoijer, 1954), and culture in modern society is discussed by Battiste (Battiste, 2000). The local language, which is a part of the culture that is endeavored to be maintained, ed is seen from various sides, including in the realm of education (Setyawan, 2011), international high school in Yogyakarta (Sholihah & Suharti, 2015), school activities (Widianto, 2018), Sundanese lessons (Zulaeha & Hum, 2017) and the realm of government in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (Nurhayati, 2010), Simalungun (Damanik, 2009), and Dairi (Sitorus, 2014). Even though language preservation has been carried out, language shift as a form of cultural invasion is inevitable; this is evidenced by the many cases of language shift throughout Indonesia, for example, the language shift in Kuala Tanjung (Sahril, 2018), Palangkaraya (Budhiono, 2009), and Lampung (Putri, 2018).…”
