Abstract
This study examined the language choice of the Hakka youth in Kluang, Johor, and their attitude towards the Hakka dialect. The objectives of this study were: (1) to describe the language choice of the Hakka youth in different domains; (2) to identify the attitude of the Hakka youth towards the Hakka dialect; (3) to determine the relationship between the Hakka proficiency of the Hakka youth and the frequency of Hakka used as language choice; and (4) to determine the relationship between the Hakka youth's demographic characteristics and their attitude towards the Hakka dialect. A survey study was conducted on 153 Hakka youth aged between 15 and 30 with an online questionnaire. The results show that the language choice of the Hakka youth was mainly standard languages especially Mandarin in all domains. The data collected indicated the Hakka youth’s positive attitude towards the Hakka dialect. The Pearson correlation test conducted showed that the proficiency of the Hakka youth in the Hakka dialect is significantly correlated to the frequency of Hakka used. The independent t-tests conducted indicated that age, religion, educational background, and socio-economic status significantly differentiated the Hakka youth’s attitude towards the Hakka dialect. The study showed that the Hakka youth appreciate and uphold a positive attitude towards the Hakka dialect but do not apply Hakka as their language choices.
