- Abstract
This research aimed to investigate the Javanese language shift and maintenance of Javanese millennial children in East Java. Recent research used the quantitative-descriptive method to analyze the data. Data collection techniques that were used in this study were questionnaires. The results of this research indicate the young generation’s ability is decreased to maintain a higher level of their vernacular language. The data showed that the millennials prefer shifting their language to 2 other types of language, such as Bahasa Indonesia and ngoko language (the lower-level of Javanese language). The use of krama speech is rarely used in this present time by the millennials. They prefer to use the Indonesian language rather than krama speech while conversing with someone older than them. This research reveals that krama speech is still used by millennials even though the frequency is lower than the other speech levels. However, the existence of krama speech among millennials is still alive.
