Entering the year 2000, Deli Malay speakers experienced a decline due to several
factors, namely globalization or developments over time, parents no longer
teaching Deli Malay, mixed marriages, lack of interest in the younger generation,
and the influence of Indonesian. After that, the obstacle experienced by the author
