This paper aims at finding out how Javanese is getting to shift to <em>Bahasa Indonesia</em> and an alternative speech level. To investigate this phenomenon, we used DCT (Discourse Completion Task) and recording techniques to collect the data i.e the utterances produced by the English Department Students of Diponegoro University whose parents are Javanese. we used referential, inferential, and distributional methods to analyze the data. The results indicate that the students’ utterances can be identified as congruent Javanese speech level, <em>Bahasa Indonesia</em>, <em>Bahasa Indonesia</em> mixed with Javanese items, Javanese mixed with <em>Bahasa Indonesia</em> items,  incongruent Javanese speech levels, and alternative Javanese speech levels. The mixing codes  may be used for mitigating the force of threatening, or for hedging.</p>}, number={7}, journal={International Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities Invention}, author={Nirmala, Deli and Candria, Mytha}, year={2019}, month={Jul.}, pages={5531–5536} }
