Abstract
This study explores the resilience of the Landawe language on the coast of North Konawe amidst the rapid currents of modernization and socioeconomic transition. Moving beyond quantitative linguistic metrics, this research aims to uncover the identity-preservation strategies employed by the coastal community to safeguard their linguistic heritage. Utilizing a qualitative methodology with a phenomenological approach, the data were analyzed systematically using MAXQDA 24 software to map thematic triangulation and spatial intersections across categories. The study reveals four key findings: (1) Language attitudesrooted in cultural identity and loyaltyserve as the psychological epicenter for speakers; (2) Intergenerational transmission dynamics rely on informal teaching methods as an adaptive response to structural barriers in language inheritance; (3) The domestic family sphere and traditional ritual activities function as the final, most sacred bastions of defense; and (4) The resilience of the Landawe language operates as a multidimensional ecosystem, requiring an organic synchronization between mentality, the availability of space, and the agents of transmission. The study concludes that the preservation of the Landawe language is not a static entity, but rather a form of cultural resistance and an ethical responsibilitya community effort to protect its existence and collective memory against social homogenization.
