Indonesian has many ethnics’ group and indegenous languages. Especially in Langkat North Sumatera, there are many ethnics group in Langkat such as Javanese, Malayanese, Banjarnese, Bataknese, Chinese, and Bantenese. The native inhabitants of Langkat is Malayanese and the ethnics group that migration in Langkat such as Javanese , Bataknese, Banjarnese and Bantenese. Bantenese is a minority group in Langkat, especially in Tanjung Ibus Village, because the majority is Javanese. Although, Bantenese is a minority group,but they can maintain their language.

society. It could also be done in wedding ceremony or in the religion event. They maintain their language with using thier language in daily communication. They use their language at home in daily activity such as:
The conver a ion :
Yatiman : “ndek kemana ka’ ?”
Jasam : “kule’ ndek ka leueng. Iya’ nte’ ka leueng ?” Yatiman : “kule’ nde’ ndahar helan.”
Jasam : “oh.. ee. Kule elan ye . ” Yatim : “ee ka’.”
They use their language in daily activity to maintain their language, because language is a symbol identiy of ethnic group. Banten language is a symbol identity of Bantenese. Language is used by the people in communication to show their identity such as Banten language. Banten language is one of indigenous language in Indonesia. Ethnic identity is the way in which the expression through a particular language.
Language must be maintained because language showed the identity of the language users. As Holmes 200 :63 states that where language is considered as important symbol of a minority group’s identity, the language is likely to be maintained longer. Moreover Corson 2002:1 4 say that the maintenance of a heritage language is vital for the self-identity and esteem of its speakers. Therefore, language must be protected, preserved and maintained.
Banten language. They also had solidarity to use their language to keep their language ethnic group. The generation of Bantenese in Langkat is at the age 15-25 years old. Since Milroy and ordon 2003:52 argue that pattern of language maintenance would not apparent without sampling across generation of speakers.
The language used phenomenon of Bantenese in Langkat used two languages even multilingualism. They use Banten and Indonesian language in dayily communication. Although they use Banten and Indonesian language in daily communication but some of them more often use Indonesian language than Banten Language. This condition made danger for Banten language. If the language was not spoken anywhere, it would be endangered and lost.
