The Cia-Cia language, spoken by about 80,000 people in south-east Sulawesi, didn't have its own written form. Being a syllable-based language, it presented challenges in adapting to the Latin alphabet, the predominant script used for Indonesia's official language. Hangul, the Korean alphabetic system, was introduced after a cultural exchange between Baubau and Korean scholars in 2009. Teachers and students were even sent to South Korea to learn the script. Abidin is one of the pioneers. He spent six months in South Korea for training and has even penned a dictionary for it. "In Latin words, for instance, there's no agreed way to pronounce the sounds 'pha' or 'ta'. But after I learned Korean, it turns out there are Korean characters for the sounds," he said. In ancient times, community leaders tried to preserve the language on paper and wood. But the symbols were neither standardised nor passed down, so they slowly disappeared. "If we can write it down, the language can be documented so we will have writings to preserve it that can be learnt from time to time. Had we only had the language verbally, we would totally lose it. Even now, there are already so many forgotten original Cia-Cia words," said Abidin. Fears about their language’s future prompted elders to accept the use of Korean Hangul script. "Many words have been lost due to the influence of Indonesian and other regional languages. This has been happening for about 20 years," Ilyas, a 50-year-old local elder, said. "Language contains memories, history, morality, and wisdom of our ancestors. A language script is a legacy." Today, Cia-Cia script in Hangul can be seen on road signs and government institutions across Baubau. Some in the city have expressed nationalist concerns over the use of a foreign alphabet. But others argue the international mix could benefit the preservation process. “As we move to the modern age, today’s generations may forget the Cia-Cia language. However, we can use Korean letters thanks to the cooperation with South Korea. So we hope in the future the Cia-Cia language will remain preserved,” Ilyas said. Indonesia ranks as the world's second-most linguistically diverse nation with more than 700 languages spoken in the vast archipelago country, according to UNESCO. The country’s official language is Bahasa Indonesia, which uses Latin letters in its written form. Amirul Tamim, also a key figure in the adoption of Hangul, believes this initiative has brought new attention and respect to his people. "This means that Indonesian cultures in different regions across the country are resilient. So we should not prevent ourselves from accepting the use of foreign cultures," he said. For Sarianto, who was among the students who learned Hangul in South Korea, the script has "sparked the creation of new discourses dedicated to the preservation of the Cia-Cia language".  "Before the introduction of Hangul, many of Cia-Cia people used to feel a bit hesitant about using the local language in formal settings," he said. "However, with the implementation of Hangul, people say our Cia-Cia language has become global." and culture with a uniquely Australian perspective shows a street name signpost which includes the Korean Hangul script used to document the language of the Cia-Cia ethnic group which has no written form BAUBAU — In an eastern Indonesian village schoolchildren scrawl the distinctive circles and lines of Hangul script on a whiteboard but the language they are learning is not Korean The language of the Cia-Cia ethnic group in southeast Sulawesi province's Baubau has no written form and the syllable-based tongue does not readily translate to the Latin alphabet often used to transcribe Indonesia's national language shares a syllable-based system that has made it an unusual tool in the effort to preserve and transmit the language of the approximately 80,000 Cia-Cia people there's no agreed way to pronounce the sounds 'pha' or 'ta' it turns out there are Korean characters for the sounds," 48-year-old teacher Abidin Indonesia is a vast archipelago nation with myriad tribes and cultures that boasts more than 700 unique languages making it one of the most linguistically diverse nations in the world The country's official language is Bahasa Indonesia which owes its standard written form using Latin letters to Dutch colonial rule But the Cia-Cia's language had no surviving written form until 2009 when Hangul was introduced after a cultural exchange between Baubau city and Korean scholars The decision was the outcome of a concerted push by South Korean linguists who visited to tout Hangul's sound-based system as the perfect fit the city sent teachers and students to South Korea to learn Hangul with the goal of developing a standard way to write and teach their language leaders of the community committed the language to scraps of paper and wood using non-standard symbols that were never passed down and withered away But now Cia-Cia names dot the city's schools The tongue is also taught to students from elementary to high school using Hangul symbols though it remains largely a spoken rather than written language Mr Abidin spent six months in South Korea training on Hangul and is seen as a pioneer of transcribing Cia-Cia in the script He has even penned a dictionary for the language using Hangul Hangul is viewed with great pride in South Korea where it was once banned under Japanese rule and word of the script's role in Indonesia has been hailed by some politicians and newspapers as proof of the writing system's global presence Its adoption by the Cia-Cia illustrated a fierce desire to preserve their language said linguist Dalan Mehuli Perangin-angin at Indonesia's Sanata Dharma University.  "This shows that there is a longing from the people for their own script," he said Even the spoken form of Cia-Cia faces pressure from the dominance of Bahasa Indonesia and other regional languages "Many words have been lost due to the influence of Indonesian and other regional languages This has been happening for about 20 years," the 50-year-old said Fears about their language's future prompted elders to accept the use of Hangul Baubau is the only place in Indonesia to use Hangul and while the South Korean push for the script is not backed by Seoul its nationalist tint could blur the community's identity He suggests the Cia-Cia could have adopted a script already used by another dialect in Sulawesi which would have had closer linguistic links who was among the students who learned Hangul in South Korea the script has "sparked the creation of new discourses dedicated to the preservation of the Cia-Cia language".  many of Cia-Cia people used to feel a bit hesitant about using the local language in formal settings," he said people say our Cia-Cia language has become global."

They’re using Hangul, the Korean alphabet, to write in their native Cia-Cia language. This unique initiative is taking place in the Baubau city of Southeast Sulawesi province, where the Cia-Cia, an ethnic group without a written form for their language, are finding a new way to preserve their linguistic heritage. Participants in traditional Korean attire holds signs using the Korean Hangul script. | Japan Times The Cia-Cia language, spoken by about 80,000 people, lacked a standardized written form. Its syllable-based structure didn’t easily adapt to the Latin alphabet, which is widely used for transcribing Indonesia’s national language, Bahasa Indonesia. This linguistic challenge posed a significant risk to the survival of the Cia-Cia language. Cia Cia language. | Dailymotion  The solution emerged in an unlikely form: Hangul, the Korean alphabet. Developed in the 15th century, Hangul’s syllable-based system proved to be an effective tool for transcribing the Cia-Cia language. This script’s adoption began in 2009, following a cultural exchange between Baubau city and Korean scholars. | SCMP To facilitate this linguistic transition, Baubau city sent teachers and students to South Korea to learn Hangul. Their goal was to develop a standardized method to write and teach the Cia-Cia language. One of these pioneers, a teacher named Abidin, spent six months in South Korea and has since created a Hangul-based dictionary for Cia-Cia. | Yahoo News UK This initiative has breathed new life into the Cia-Cia language. Hangul is now used to teach students from elementary to high school, and Cia-Cia names and words are increasingly visible throughout the city. While still primarily spoken, the language’s written form in Hangul is a symbol of cultural pride and preservation. | Medium Despite its success, the use of Hangul in Baubau has raised concerns. Linguists and community elders worry about the potential loss of cultural identity and the script’s foreign origin. There are suggestions that a script used by another Sulawesi dialect could have been a more linguistically appropriate choice. | Vecteezy Nevertheless, the use of Hangul has highlighted the versatility and global influence of the Korean script. In South Korea, where Hangul is a source of national pride, this development has been positively received.
