Bugis...
"Bugis, or Wagi, is spoken in southwestern Sulawesi (Celebes).
It is an Indonesian tongue of the Malayo-Polynesian family, so
closely related to Macassar that many consider them to be
dialects of the same language.   The Bugis alphabet, probably the
basic form from which Macassar developed, consists of 23 letters,
of which five are compound consonants.   Points are added to
indicate vowels."
