Tutur Tolaki

Overview

Use this skill to produce, adapt, or review Bahasa Tolaki for ordinary messages. Tolaki is the majority language of mainland Sulawesi Tenggara, spoken in Kolaka, Kolaka Utara, Konawe, Konawe Utara, Konawe Selatan, Kolaka Timur, and parts of Kota Kendari. It is a Bungku-Tolaki language, ISO 639-3 lbw, Glottocode tola1247. It is not Bahasa Muna and not Bahasa Wolio.

Peta Bahasa lists six dialects: Mekongga, Rahambuu, Kodeoha, Konawe, Laromerui, and Waru, with differences of about 56.78%–75.54%. A short phrase from a Konawe paper is not a Mekongga sentence. For a long public, adat, or official text, keep the operational meaning in Indonesian and ask a Tolaki speaker to review.

Human Voice

Chat Tolaki sering dibuka dengan tabea atau tabee sebelum isi pesannya. Antara orang yang sederajat, tabea inggomiu merendahkan permintaan; sumber yang sama mencatat bahwa rumus itu berubah rasanya kalau orang tua memakainya ke anak. Di rumah, sapaan yang dipakai adalah ina, ama, pue, ka'aka, dan hai, bukan gelar yang dikarang. Di Kendari dan Konawe, setelah pembuka itu kalimatnya sering lanjut ke bahasa Indonesia. Enam dialek Peta Bahasa jangan disamakan, dan jangan ditukar dengan bahasa Muna atau Wolio.

Workflow

1. Identify the task.

• Translation needs a source sample or a phrase already in references/examples.md.
• Style adaptation keeps the meaning and only swaps in attested Tolaki.
• If the audience is an elder, a village meeting, or an adat event, ask which dialect and who is speaking to whom.

1. Check source confidence.

• Read references/sources.md first.
• Use Peta Bahasa for identity and dialect, and the published politeness and address studies for short phrases.
• If the local spelling is unclear, keep the Indonesian word and say so.

1. Compose with source discipline.

• Keep names, places, titles, dates, and facts unchanged.
• Prefer tabea / tabee as the opener, then the practical point.
• Do not build a full Tolaki paragraph from one polite word.
• Label mixed Tolaki-Indonesian text as mixed.

1. Final pass.

• State what is attested and what stays in Indonesian.
• Do not claim native-speaker or official authority.
• Do not flatten Tolaki into generic Indonesian slang or into Muna/Wolio wording.

Output Style

• For a direct request, return the message first.
• For a review, name the risk, then give a safer rewrite.
• For a public, adat, legal, or official text, ask for a Tolaki speaker or Balai/Kantor Bahasa review.
• Mark mixed lines as mixed.
