Previous studies on Balinese speech levels have primarily focused on language use within Hindu communities, while their use in Muslim wedding rituals remains underexplored. This study examines the terminology of Muslim wedding rituals and the forms of Anggah-Ungguhing used by the Muslim community in Pegayaman Village, Buleleng, Bali. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach with a phenomenological orientation and communication ethnography, data were collected through video observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed through data reduction, classification, description, and conclusion drawing. The findings identify three levels of wedding ritual organization, nista, madya, and utama, comprising six ritual stages: metahu, mapaitungan, nyangkreb, ngunye, nyuang nganten, and natab. The analysis documents six speech categories: Alus Singgih (2 words), Alus Mider (105), Alus Sor (7), Alus Madia (32), Mider (19), and Andap (49). These findings demonstrate the continued use of differentiated Balinese speech levels in Muslim wedding practices. The study contributes to research on language maintenance among non-Hindu communities and offers insights for culturally responsive multicultural education. The originality of this study lies in demonstrating how six categories of Balinese speech levels are maintained and used in Muslim wedding rituals, highlighting the role of local cultural practices in sustaining Balinese linguistic traditions beyond Hindu communities.
