This research is to follow-up the issue spreading in the community concerning with the language shift that threatens the survival of Gorontalo language (BG), especially in the region of Gorontalo City. Language shifting that increasingly threatens the existence of Gorontalo language tends to occur in teenagers’ groups (10-18 years). To investigate the language use and attitude as well as the inhibiting factors of Gorontalo language maintenance on the teenagers, the authors used ethnographic method. Interview, field observation, and ethnographic recording are used in collecting data. The results showed that the most dominant type of language shift in adolescents is the dominant use of other languages that change the position of Gorontalo language in various aspects of life. Teen-aged speakers prefer to code mixing the Gorontalo languages with other languages such as Manado Malay, Arabic, and Indonesian in their conversations. The language choice is influenced by negative attitudes towards language manifested by the rejection of the Gorontalo language. This negative attitude is also one of the factors inhibiting the language maintenance. The barrier of the Gorontalo language maintenance also includes the attitude of the community language in the social of environment of the adolescents and the local government policy on the maintenance of Gorontalo language.
