Key Points

To investigate the language attitudes, usage patterns, and sociolinguistic identity of Madurese speakers residing in the multilingual community of Jember.
Employed a phenomenological research design using an online questionnaire distributed via Google Forms.
Assessed indicators including comprehension, usage, preservation, and intergenerational transmission of the Madurese language across gender-balanced respondents with varied educational backgrounds.
Performed descriptive analyses to characterize positive and negative language attitudes in both private and public domains.
Identified positive language attitudes marked by active comprehension, everyday usage, community pride, and language transmission within households.
Observed negative language attitudes characterized by partial linguistic pride, reluctance to pass Madurese down to children, and hesitation to claim a Madurese identity.
Identified a sociolinguistic contrast between island-based speakers ('Madura Negeri') and multilingual diasporic speakers ('Madura Swasta') who maintain multilingual fluency alongside dual linguistic attitudes.
