This research aims to explore the domains and variations of language use in the diglossia situation among Javanese Deli speakers in Hamparan Perak District, Deli Serdang Regency. A qualitative research method was employed, focusing on the Javanese Deli speakers in this region. The study found that diglossia occurs across several domains: family, social, professional, religious, and transactional. Each domain exhibits distinct diglossia characteristics. In the family domain, the use of a higher language variant is often influenced by the educational background of the family head. In social interactions, a lower language variant is used when speakers share the same ethnic background, particularly among Javanese Deli people. The religious domain sees the use of a higher variant, as the district is predominantly inhabited by Javanese, Deli, and Malay communities, making Indonesian the preferred language to avoid conflicts. In professional and transactional contexts, a lower variant is commonly used, with occasional shifts to a higher variant in informal situations. Overall, the study reveals that the lower language variant is more prevalent, supporting the preservation of the Javanese Deli language in Hamparan Perak District.
