Cia-Cia, also known as (South) Buton or Butonese, is an Austronesian language spoken principally around the city of Baubau on the southern tip of Buton island, off the southeast coast of Sulawesi, in Indonesia.[1] It is written using the Latin and Hangul scripts.

Demographics

In 2005, there were 79,000 speakers of Cia-Cia,[2] many of whom also use Wolio, which is closely related to Cia-Cia, as well as Indonesian. Wolio is falling into disuse as a written language among the Cia-Cia, as it is written using the Arabic script, and Indonesian is now taught in schools using the Latin script.[3]Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

Cia-Cia has been privately taught to schoolchildren in the Hangul script since 2008. The students are also taught some basic Korean.[4] The program remained active as of 2024.[5]

Geographic distribution

Cia-Cia is spoken in Southeast Sulawesi, south Buton Island, Binongko Island, and Batu Atas Island.[2]

According to legend, Cia-Cia speakers on Binongko descend from Butonese troops sent by a Butonese sultan.[6]

Name

The name of the language comes from the negator Script error: No such module "Lang"., "no".[2] It is also known as Buton, Butonese, Butung,[2] and in Dutch Script error: No such module "Lang"., names it shares with Wolio, and as South(ern) Buton or Butung.[2][7] The ambiguous name "Buton", often referring generically to various ethnic and linguistic groups of the Buton area,[8] is said to be of Ternatese origin (butu – "market", "marketplace").[9][10] Names such as "South Buton"[2][7] can be used to disambiguate from Wolio, the historically dominant language of the island.[11]

Dialects

The language situation on the island of Buton is very complicated and not known in great detail.[12]

Dialects include Kaesabu, Sampolawa (Mambulu-Laporo), Wabula (with its subvarieties), and Masiri.[13] The Masiri dialect shows the greatest amount of vocabulary in common with the standard dialect.[2] The Pedalaman dialect uses gh—equivalent to r in other dialects—in native vocabulary, and r in loan words.[14]Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

Orthography

Cia-Cia was once written in a Jawi-like script called Gundhul, based on Arabic, with five additional consonant letters but no signs for vowels.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

Hangul

In 2009, residents of the city of Baubau set about adopting Hangul, the script for the Korean language, to write Cia-Cia.[16]

The mayor consulted the Indonesian government on the possibility of making the writing system official.[17] However, the project encountered difficulties between the city of Baubau, the Hunminjeongeum Society, and the Seoul Metropolitan Government in 2011.[18] The King Sejong Institute, which had been established in Baubau in 2011 to teach Hangul to locals, abandoned its offices after a year of operation, in 2012;[19] it reopened them in 2022.[20] In December 2023, Agence France-Presse again published an article with interviews showcasing the Hangul effort.[21]

In January 2020, the publication of the first Cia-Cia dictionary in Hangul was announced.[20][22][23] It was published in December 2021.[24]

As of 2024, Hangul remains in use in schools and on local signs.[25][5]
