Tutur Bagongan Jogja

Overview

Use this skill to adapt text toward the Yogyakarta court register known as Basa Bagongan. Treat it as a culturally source-aware working style, not an authoritative ritual or palace-protocol translation.

Basa Bagongan is associated with the Keraton Kasultanan Yogyakarta. It is often described as respectful but less hierarchically polished than high krama, with a distinct court identity and limited special vocabulary.

Use this skill for source-aware Bagongan-style adaptation and review. It must not claim official palace, ceremonial, ritual, or protocol authority without verified source text.

Workflow

1. Identify the target.
• If the user says "Keraton Jogja", map it to Keraton Kasultanan Yogyakarta.
• If the user says "Pakualaman", do not assume it is identical to Kasultanan Yogyakarta. Mention that it is a related Yogyakarta court context and keep the output conservative.
• If the text is Indonesian, adapt meaning into a Bagongan-inspired Javanese/Indonesian output only as far as requested.

1. Choose the depth.
• Light flavor: Preserve meaning and add Jogja court diction sparingly.
• Bagongan output: Use Bagongan markers, including careful use of manira and pakenira.
• Ceremonial-aware output: Add a short caveat and avoid invented formulas.

1. Apply Yogyakarta Bagongan signals.
• Use the pronoun pair manira / pakenira when direct pronouns are needed and the context fits.
• Allow a measured mix of krama and ngoko morphology when making a Bagongan-style output.
• Keep the tone respectful, plain, and not overly ornate.

1. Final check.
• Avoid turning Bagongan into generic krama inggil.
• Avoid importing Surakarta Kedhaton role-sensitive pronoun sets unless making a comparison.
• Do not overuse rare vocabulary just to sound "ancient".

Output Style

• If the user asks for direct output, provide the adapted text first.
• If the text is ceremonial, add a note that expert review is needed.
• If asked for options, give "light", "Bagongan", and "formal explanation" variants.
• Do not claim "bahasa keraton asli" unless the source phrase is verified.
