Abstract

Indonesian as the national language and the state language has been able to strengthen its position as a primary communication tool in the domains of state, culture, education, technology, mass media, trade, and language between nations nationally. A language, which was prior to the Youth Oath on October 28, 1928, was called the Malay language, which became a marker of our national identity. The big language has been able to bind the cultural diversity and language diversity of a large nation formed from various ethnicities. However, even though Indonesian has such a high position and function, most speakers still make it the second language after regional languages. The ability to use two languages ​​equally according to the situation and speech involved is referred to as bilingual speakers.
