>>26881487No government institutions these days have ever been involved with the updating of "living" Bahasa Indonesia, Malayanons, especially slangs, that every Indonesians including HoloID speaks with, outside of formal context. Recording maybe yes for KBBI, but not influencing what people speaks.
It's a matter of what words people were actually speaking with, and that can happen simply because of this 1 TV ad/music video or 1 viral post on Twitter.
For example I remember the time when, if you don't care about something/someone, you said "apa urusannya ama gue", then it changed because of 1 MV (or ad? Forgot) to "EGP/emang gue pikirin" and nowadays EGP is not even popular anymore.
Or "Pelakor/Perebut Lelaki Orang", nobody speaks this word before 2017-2018, but because of several Twitter posts describing women stealing BF/husband, it becomes popular now.
What in my humble opinion Malays should do is to do away with "this is not proper Malay/serapan foreign language/from Indonesia and therefore let's not speak this word" attitude that I see a lot in r/malaysia. Language evolve naturally, baik karena serapan Bahasa Inggris, Belanda, Portugis, Cina, and it's all okay.
P.S. "gue" seems to be a Hokkien word IIRC.
