The Bungku–Tolaki languages (also known as Bungku–Mori in older literature[1]) are a group of languages spoken primarily in South East Sulawesi province, Indonesia, and in neighboring parts of Central and South Sulawesi provinces.

Languages

Mead (1998:117) presents the following tree-model classification for Bungku–Tolaki. This classification is based on the historical-comparative method in linguistics.[2]

This classification supersedes Mead (1999), an earlier classification proposed by Mead in 1994.[3] Based on a lexicostatistical comparison, his earlier classification proposed 'Bungku,' 'Mori,' and 'Tolaki' as primary subdivisions under Bungku–Tolaki. In view of more recent evidence from shared sound change and innovations in pronoun sets, the unity of the proposed Mori group (comprising Bahonsuai, Mori Bawah, Mori Atas, Padoe and Tomadino) could not be maintained. Additional information can be found at Mori language.

Phonology

The sound system of all Bungku–Tolaki is characterized by a simple five-vowel system and the complete lack of final consonants.[2][4]
