The August 2023 issue of Jurnal Tahuri presents five insightful research articles that explore the dynamic intersections of language, identity, and education within Indonesia’s multilingual and multicultural contexts. This edition highlights how linguistic practices intersect with questions of culture, religion, and generational change, offering ethnographic and sociolinguistic insights from various Indonesian regions. The first article investigates students’ linguistic repertoires in multilingual Indonesian communities, revealing how language use reflects identity formation and educational experience. Another study from Ambon examines how multilingual youth negotiate identity in the overlapping spaces of urban and traditional life. From the Kei Islands, a paper on intergenerational language transmission illuminates how minority language speakers maintain linguistic and cultural continuity across generations. A further contribution explores language, religion, and identity negotiation in Islamic boarding schools, emphasizing the sociolinguistic complexity of faith-based education. The issue concludes with an analysis of intersecting voices of gender, religion, and language practices among university students in Eastern Indonesia, highlighting how language mediates power, belonging, and expression. Collectively, these studies demonstrate Jurnal Tahuri’s continuing dedication to advancing research on language, culture, and identity across Indonesia’s diverse linguistic landscapes.
