Abstract

Local (native) languages in Indonesia and national language live in one umbrella organization and its growing, too, is in one umbrella organization, namely the Indonesian nation. In reality, the two languages can be said to be contradictions, because there is a desire for the national language to become a unifying language of every tribe, race, and culture in Indonesia. The uniformity of the use of national language in almost all areas of people can be contrary to the local language (mother tongue) they use as a colloquial language. The national language as the the other one that requires common use, it produces the first language communication in little by little began to erode. If this is still enforced, then the local language is less influential because few users can disappear not even known again in the future. It may form a bilingual another pattern in community, the understanding of the of Indonesian Language step by step replaces original one (local language). It is different if it is viewed from the view point of unity, then between regional and national languages can coexist harmoniously, simply to say, it dealt with local language. Then such things happen, there is no disappearance. It does not change local (native) languages, and in return. This paper wishes to study the language attitude of Pakpak Dairi language speakers as one of the local (native) languages in Dairi district of North Sumatra from the point of sociolinguistic ethnography and its relation to the vitality of this language.
