Abstract

This study aims to describe the usage of the Gorontalo language, the challenges regarding its preservation, and the efforts made by the community of Tutulo Village (Botumoito District, Boalemo Regency) to overcome these challenges. The research data consists of the speech used by the community in Tutulo Village, with data sources comprising community members, community leaders, and the younger generation. A qualitative descriptive method with a sociolinguistic approach was employed to analyze the preservation of the Gorontalo language in the area. Data were obtained through techniques such as non-participatory observation (simak libat bebas cakap), participatory observation (simak libat cakap), conversation (cakap), eavesdropping (sadap), and note-taking (catat). The collected data were analyzed by transcribing oral data into written form, translating, identifying, classifying, and analyzing the data, and drawing conclusions from the analysis. The results indicate that while the Gorontalo language is still used in Tutulo Village, Botumoito District, Boalemo Regency, its usage is no longer dominant across all domains of communication.
