ABSTRACT

The purpose of this article is to explore the relationship between language use and language proficiency in relation to language vulnerabilities, with a particular emphasis on the Javanese language. The research critically examines the extent to which a language becomes vulnerable as a result of its dwindling usage or the decreasing proficiency of its speakers. The study aims to address the question of whether the decline in the ability to speak Javanese is due to its decreasing use in everyday life. The research findings will contribute to identifying the causes of the vulnerability of the Javanese language in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, which is the primary hub of Javanese culture and language in Indonesia. To accomplish these goals, the study initiated a survey of primary, junior high, and high school students in the Special Region of Yogyakarta’s five territorial units, which comprise one city and four regencies. The primary objective of the survey was to determine the extent to which the respondents use Javanese in their daily lives. Subsequently, the study conducted interviews with select respondents who had claimed to speak Javanese regularly. The results of the study reveal a robust correlation between insufficient usage of Javanese in everyday life and the declining proficiency of its speakers, which contributes to the vulnerability of the Javanese language.
