Abstract

This study aims to explore the language attitude of Bandung-born Balinese teenagers and their efforts to preserve their local wisdom. The research has been conducted with the descriptive method. The data obtained from questionnaires and interviews indicate that the Balinese youth’s efforts have been remarkable since they tend to maintain their mother tongue, Balinese, daily at home or when speaking with fellow Balinese residents in Bandung. The language shifts to Indonesian language are due to the interlocutor inability to speak Balinese. Their endeavors to conserve their local wisdom can be observed from their typical Balinese names, wearing traditional clothes on religious ritual events, practice Balinese dance and traditional music instruments, and their habit of consuming Balinese culinary whenever an occasion presents itself.
