Cia-Cia language

[9][10] Names such as "South Buton"[1][7] can be used to disambiguate from Wolio, the historically dominant language of the island.

[2] 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.

[citation needed] 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.

[2] The prefixed form is used before units of 10 (pulu), 100 (hacu), and 1,000 (riwu), and before classifiers and measure nouns.
