Yogyakarta's Slang Language
Based on Wikipedia, Slang is the non-standard or non-dialectal use of words in a language of a particular social group, and sometimes the creation of new words or importation of words from another language.
It is a type of neologism. Slang can be described as way of deviating from standard language use, and is very popular with teenagers. Slang functions in two ways; the creation of new language and new usage by a process of creative informal use and adaptation, and the creation of a secret language understood only by those within a group intended to understand it. As such, slang is a type of sociolect aimed at excluding certain people from the conversation. Slang initially functions as encryption, so that the non-initiate cannot understand the conversation, or as a further way to communicate with those who understand it.
Slang functions as a way to recognize members of the same group, and to differentiate that group from the society at large. Slang terms are often particular to a certain subculture, such as musicians, skateboarders, and drug users. Slang generally implies playful, informal speech. Slang is distinguished from jargon, the technical vocabulary of a particular profession, as jargon is (in theory) not used to exclude non-group members from the conversation, but rather deals with technical peculiarities of a given field which require a specialized vocabulary.

Prokem in Yogyakarta
Each area has their own slang language. And this translator is only used to translate Yogyakarta's Slang Language. Yogyakarta slang is also known as Basa Walikan, literally means Reverse Language. It is a transformation from Javanese, in which Javanese traditional character sequences are being switched with one another, using the specific formula.
But first we must know what are Javanese characters.
Hey, where is the vocals? Javanese didn't use single vocal such as A, I, U, E and O. Otherwise, they put H in front of them. So if they write Aku (Me, I myself) they'll write Haku. But it's only for writings, not the spelling. They'll still say Aku instead of Haku
