DIGITALISASI BAHASA DAERAH SEBAGAI UPAYA MENINGKATKAN KETAHANAN BUDAYA DAERAH

Abstract

The existence of languages ​​in the world continues to experience a decline in the number of speakers every year, including regional languages ​​in Indonesia. There are 11 regional languages ​​that do not have a single speaker in Indonesia spread over four provinces, namely Maluku Province, North Maluku Province, Papua Province, and West Papua Province (Kemdikbud, 2020). So that this condition does not continue, prevention efforts are needed, one of the efforts that must be done at this time is digitalization. This effort is carried out by diverting media from printed, audio, and video forms to digital forms (Sukmana, 2005). Sundanese is one of the regional languages ​​in Indonesia which is doing the digitization process. The three forms of digitization consist of text, audio, and video which are then converted to digital form and uploaded to the internet. Three indicators of regional cultural resilience show that digitizing regional languages ​​can increase regional cultural resilience. The first indicators identity, the second is being able to overcome foreign cultural attacks, and the third indicator is following the times.
