Participants are millennials in Banggai who are native speakers of Banggai language who use Banggai language in in their daily life. The researchers sort the utterances to separate data and non-data in recorded conversations. Data analysis code mixing identification and classification. The researchers interpret the results of the analysis based on the theory and present them in the form of description. The results of this study indicate that Banggai millennials employ all forms of code mixing in all conversational activities studied. The forms include insertion, alternation and congruent lexicalization. In other words, participants insert Indonesian words, phrases, clauses and dialects into their Banggai language utterances during conversation. The tendency to insert Indonesian in the utterances of Banggai millennials is an alarming signal for the continuity and the existence of the Banggai Language. Losing the local language will eliminate the Banggai culture at the same time. The results of observations in 10 conversational activity settings showing the mixing of Banggai language code with Indonesian reflect the signal. There are needs of serious efforts from the Banggai Laut Government and a traditional apparatus based in Banggai Laut, to make Banggai language into the language of instruction, which continue to live and sustainable in society, as it is related to the central position of Banggai Laut , as the center of the Banggai Kingdom.
