The Bugis language is an Austronesian language spoken primarily by the Bugis people in Indonesia, particularly in the province of South Sulawesi. It is one of the major languages in the region and has several dialects, reflecting the diverse communities of the Bugis. The language uses a Latin-based script, although it was historically written in the Lontara script. Bugis is not only a means of communication but also an important part of the Bugis culture and identity. It is used in various aspects of daily life, including traditional ceremonies, storytelling, and local governance. Efforts are being made to preserve and promote the language, especially among younger generations.
