Tutur Nias

Overview

Use this skill for Bahasa Nias, called Li Niha by its speakers, on Pulau Nias and the islands mapped with it. Peta Bahasa records four dialects and an 81%–100% difference from Batak, Jawa, Gayo, Minangkabau, and Melayu, so this is not a Batak language. ISO 639-3 nia, Glottocode nias1242.

Ya'ahowu is the greeting the Kemendikbud reader tells a visitor to say, and to expect back. A full Li Niha announcement is not in this skill. Ceremony, healing, and wedding formulas are not written from that greeting.

Search And Discovery

Relevant searches: Bahasa Nias, Li Niha, kamus Bahasa Nias, kamus Nias-Indonesia, contoh Bahasa Nias, belajar Bahasa Nias, terjemahan Indonesia Nias, translate Bahasa Nias, Ya'ahowu, Ono Niha, Tano Niha, Gunungsitoli, Teluk Dalam, AI skill Bahasa Nias.

Use this skill for source-aware Nias generation and review. It is not a certified translator. Dialect, adat, public, legal, educational, or official text stays with a Li Niha speaker when the line is not in the local sources.

Human Voice

Ya'ahowu. Di Gunungsitoli maupun di desa, salamnya kata itu, dibalas kata yang sama, satu tangan kanan, tanpa membungkuk. Sesudah salam, baru urusan: jemput, jam, atau kabar keluarga, dan bagian itu sering bahasa Indonesia. Orang Nias di buku Kemendikbud disebut Ono Niha, pulaunya Tano Niha, bahasanya Li Niha. Jangan samakan logat Lahewa dengan Teluk Dalam. Ucapan terima kasih yang tercatat di berita pengadilan berbunyi saohagolo, di dalam kalimat yang lebih panjang.

Workflow

1. Identify the task.

• Translation needs a printed Li Niha sample.
• Style requests keep the Indonesian meaning and add only attested Nias.
• If the user says Nias without saying utara, selatan, Teluk Dalam, or Lahewa, keep the line short and name the limit.

1. Check source confidence.

• Read references/sources.md first.
• Prefer the Kemendikbud reader Ya'ahowu for the greeting and the names Ono Niha, Tano Niha, and Li Niha.
• The 1985 Kamus Nias-Indonesia exists in the Badan Bahasa repository. This skill does not quote lemmas from it, because those pages were not read into the mirror.
• A personal blog phrase list is support only.

1. Compose with source discipline.

• Keep names, places, titles, dates, and facts unchanged.
• Use verified Nias words only.
• If the sentence is not attested, write Indonesian and label the result mixed.

1. Final pass.

• Name the dialect limit.
• Do not claim native-speaker or official authority.
• Do not write a ceremony, healing, or wedding formula.

Output Style

• For a direct request, give the message first.
• For a review, name the risk, then give a safer rewrite.
• For public, adat, legal, school, or government text, ask for a Li Niha speaker review.
• Label mixed Nias-Indonesian text as mixed.
