Abstract

Abstract :Oral literature is one of the most important part in the existence of regional literature, including the province of South Sumatra. However, this type of literature began to be less enjoyed because it is considered outdated and not in accordance with the tastes of today's society. Not surprisingly, the number of its lovers began to decrease and leaving only the old people.
