This research describes the linguistic adaptation of Bali transmigrants on the mainland of Southeast Sulawesi, specifically in relation to phonological, morphological, grammatical, loanword, and language proficiency aspects. To address these issues, data collection methods such as interviews, observations, and surveys were employed. The results of the research indicated that the linguistic adaptation of Bali transmigrants can be observed phonologically, with the disappearance of retroflex sounds /t/ and /d/ among the younger generation. Generally, Bali transmigrants have limited knowledge of standardized Bali vocabulary, as evidenced by imprecise word usage. Morphologically, the formation of words combines Indonesian root forms with Balinese affixes. In terms of syntax, the use of Indonesian sentences is often accompanied by particles such as ji, mi, toh, and ki, along with the distinctive intonation of the local ethnic group. Vocabulary borrowing, particularly related to agriculture, was also commonly observed. Proficiency in colloquial language was more dominant than in formal language. Most participants were unfamiliar with formal Balinese vocabulary.

This article describes the factors causing shifts in the usage, maintenance efforts, and maintenance strategies for the Bangka Malay language. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative. The data were the results of interviews and library sources. Data was collected through direct observation of objects and the use of language in the life of the people of the Bangka Belitung Islands. The theory used is language maintenance and language shift. The findings show that many factors cause a shift in the use of Bangka Malay. However, efforts to maintain the use of language have been carried out by the government and the people who use it. These efforts have shown results, but optimization must be done. Language preservation can be done through a process of language education from an early age so that pride in using Bangka Malay appears earlier before being affected by foreign languages.
