Lubuklinggau's Ulu Alphabet and Its Preservation

Abstract

AbstrakAksara Ulu merupakan aksara yang digunakan oleh masyarakat daerah pesisir Sumatera yaitu etnis Pasemah, Serawai, Rejang, dan Lembak yang zaman dahulu difungsikan sebagai media dalam penyampaian nilai-nilai kearifan lokal, menceritakan suatu kisah, mencatat hukum adat, menulis sajak atau syair, menyampaikan ajaran agama, pengobatan, ataupun petuah. Pengaruh budaya asing di era globalisasi saat ini, dapat menyebabkan adanya perubahan kebudayaan sehingga terjadinya degradasi budaya lokal seperti Aksara Ulu yang keberadaannya semakin hilang eksistensinya terutama di beberapa daerah salah satunya Kota Lubuklinggau. Aksara Ulu tidak begitu familier di kalangan masyarakat terlebih lagi para pelajar sebagai generasi muda yang seharusnya aksara tersebut perlu dilestarikan dan dikembangkan dengan melalui berbagai upaya seperti melalui sosialisasi dan pembelajaran baik lingkungan formal maupun informal dalam kehidupan masyarakat sehingga aksara tersebut keberadaannya akan terus bertahan karena masyarakat pendukungnya tetap konsisten dalam memfungsikan aksara ulu sebagai identitas lokal yang harus dilestarikan.
