Hello, everyone!
Did you know that Lombok actually means "spices"?
Did you know that Lombok actually means "spices"?
This
is a phrase I always use to describe the island to my foreign friends:
"Lombok means spicy!
In this "spicy" island, the weather are "spicy", the foods are "spicy" and above all: the peoples are "spicy"!"
That's the phrase I always use.
In this "spicy" island, the weather are "spicy", the foods are "spicy" and above all: the peoples are "spicy"!"
That's the phrase I always use.
Well, if you ask what
"the peoples are "spicy"" means, I'll answer
"hot-headed" but... if you want to ask whether we're "hot"
or not, I'll say, yes, we're. (whaaattt??)
Hahahaha :)
Anyway, this post is about "Sasak Tribe" a.k.a my tribe.
Hahahaha :)
Anyway, this post is about "Sasak Tribe" a.k.a my tribe.
Sasak
Tribe is the main habitant in Lombok Island.
About 85% of Lombok Island's residents are Sasak.
We're well-known for as-I-said before "hotheaded". "Hotheaded" or "Pagah" in Sasak's language are the main word uses to describe Sasak tribe and mostly it links to peoples from Praya town (that's where I live).

No one in Lombok Island would
not know the phrase "Pagah Praya" or literally means "Hot-headed
Praya".
I wouldn't deny that aspect though. (whaaattt?!!)
Even in the Tribe itself, there're classifications.
The common noble class are peoples with "Lalu" and "Baiq" includes in their names.
There're other noble class who are believed the direct descend of old-Sasak.
I believe it has "Raden" (similar to Lord or Lady from Europe) in their name.
But nowadays, nobody is still using their noble-name, except for the one with "Lalu" and "Baiq".
"Lalu" is used for men while "Baiq" is for women.
The system used to inherit the title is Patrilineal where all comes down to Father's family.

Even
now, there're special exceptions for "Lalu & Baiq"s.
They had to use honorific words (as Keigo in Japanese) and their marriage are exceptionally interesting rather than normal peoples. And on top of it, they're usually rich :)
"Lalu & Baiq"s from Central Lombok Regency (Penujak, Batujai, and southern part of Central Lombok) are believed to be the one who holds old-cultures the most and are respected among "Lalu & Baiq" from other places.
Well, that's all I can say about Sasak Tribe,
next up is Sasak Language!
