Abstrak

Bahasa Mandobo Atas [aax] dan Mandobo Bawah [bwp], sebagai bahasa minoritas, memiliki kerentanan untuk punah, terlebih tanpa adanya perhatian dari pemerintah untuk mempromosikan pembelajaran dan penggunannya. Sebaliknya, Bahasa Indonesia dan Melayu Papua Selatan menjadi makin kuat, sebab bahasa tersebut diajarkan di sekolah dan digunakan sehari-hari dan dalam transaksi ekonomi. Paper ini ditujukan untuk mengkaji kembali ketahanan bahasa Mandobo Atas dan Mandobo Bawah. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah pendekatan partisipatoris, dengan alat survei roda ketahanan bahasa yang dipadukan dengan EGIDS (Expanded Graded Intergenerational Disruption Scale). Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan purpossive sampling dan teknik analisis menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif. Dari analisis hasil temuan, diperoleh bahwa terdapat penurunan ketahanan bahasa menjadi EGIDS 6b untuk Mandobo Atas dan EGIDS 7 untuk Mandobo Bawah. Rekomendasi untuk menindaklanjuti pemeliharaan bahasa tersebut adalah pengembangan bahasa untuk Mandobo Atas dan dokumentasi bahasa untuk Mandobo Bawah.
