Abstract

The variation also has several versions, in addition to the Karaton Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat there are other variations in the form of Bagongan or Kedhaton (Karaton Surakarta Hadiningrat). This study aims to elaborate the use of Bagongan language in the daily life of the Abdi Dalem Karaton Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat. This article uses a qualitative descriptive method and a matching method with the technique of determining the determinants (PUP) to analyze the data found. This article data was obtained using a questionnaire. Informants were selected by purposive random sampling technique. Based on existing findings data, the researchers concluded that the use of Bagongan language is rarely used, the variety of Javanese language that is often used is ngoko and krama.
