# Tutur Makassar

## Overview

Use this skill to produce, adapt, or review text related to Bahasa Makassar. Produce usable ordinary-context output from local resources. Mark uncertain wording instead of pretending it is verified.

Region/context: Sulawesi Selatan: Kota Makassar, Gowa, Takalar, Jeneponto, Bantaeng, Maros, Pangkajene Kepulauan, Kepulauan Selayar, dan komunitas Makassar diaspora menurut Peta Bahasa

Source confidence: Level 2. Peta Bahasa, Kemdikbud/Balai Bahasa dictionaries, a structure reference, Glottolog/ISO, ABVD, and politeness references support language identity, short examples, and etiquette cues, but long public or ceremonial text still needs review.

Use this skill for source-aware Bahasa Makassar generation and review. It is not a certified translator and must keep dialect, adat, ritual, public, legal, educational, or official text under competent speaker review when uncertain.

## Workflow

1. Identify the task.
   - If the user asks for translation, check whether a source sample or dictionary reference is available.
   - If the user asks for style, preserve meaning and adapt register carefully.
   - If the user asks for cultural tone, avoid stereotypes and ask for audience/context when needed.

2. Check source confidence.
   - Use `references/sources.md` first.
   - Use Makassar dictionaries, structure notes, and politeness references for important word choices.
   - If a local spelling or dialect choice is unclear, preserve the Indonesian term and add a short note.

3. Compose with source discipline.
   - Keep names, places, titles, dates, and facts unchanged.
   - Prefer verified local words only.
   - For unknown terms, use Indonesian or ask for a local sample.

4. Final pass.
   - State uncertainty briefly when relevant.
   - Do not claim native-speaker or official authority.
   - Do not flatten the language into generic Indonesian slang.

## Output Style

- For direct requests, return the adapted output first.
- For review requests, list risks and then provide a safer rewrite.
- For public, ritual, legal, educational, or official use, recommend native-speaker or Balai Bahasa review.
