Abstract

This paper describes the phenomenon of bilingualism on low ethnic complexity border region of Belu Regency and South Central Timor, East Nusa Tenggara Province. It is marked by its speakers understanding and using Tetun language (TL), Dawan language (DL) and Indonesian language (IL). Therefore, the phenomenon of bilingualism refers to the choice of language use and its factors. In order to obtain the expected data, the research involved 100 respondents. The data obtained through data collection techniques were analyzed by quantitative and qualitative methods. It was conducted based on the attitude of the language in the dimensions of language loyalty, language pride, and language awareness on norms in the domains of family, education, customs, neighborhood, government, and religion. The results show that the low ethnic complexity border region reflects the natural linguistic phenomenon in the dimensions of social life, and nation without leaving the democratic life within the framework of Timorese culture. Linguistic phenomenon characterized by the choice of TL, DL, and IL is influenced by their own cultural background, political and economic factors. Such the language situation is reasoned by the geographical location not be economically viable for migrants.
