Batak: Angkola...
"Although slightly smaller than Borneo, mountainous Sumatra
has a population exceeding 16 million.   Malay, in numerous
forms, is the language of the eastern and southern coastal areas
and of most of coastal Indonesia.   Batak is spoken by several
million people in the north-central and western regions.
Angkola Batak, one of many Batak, or Batta, dialects, is spoken
in the Sipirok area.   The term ‘Angkola Mandailing’ is some-
times used to indicate a general form of Batak common to a
much wider area than is the Angkola usage.

Batak is an Indonesian Malayo- Polynesian tongue.   It has long
been written in the peculiar Batak script - a Kavi-derived
character earlier written from bottom to top, left to right."
