The South Sulawesi languages are a group of languages spoken by the Bugis and related ethnic groups native to the Indonesian provinces South Sulawesi and West Sulawesi.

Languages

The position of the Tamanic languages, usually represented by Embaloh (Maloh), is unclear. Long left unclassified, the Dutch linguist K.A. Adelaar has proposed that they are especially close to Buginese and thus can be included in the South Sulawesi subgroup.[2][3]
