cia-cia
Cia-Cia (Bahasa Ciacia, 바하사 찌아찌아, بهاس چيا-چيا), also known as Buton or Butonese, is an Austronesian language spoken principally around the city of Baubau on the southern tip of Buton Island off the southeast coast of Sulawesi in Indonesia. In 2009, the language gained international media attention as the city of Baubau was teaching children to read and write Cia-Cia in Hangul, the Korean alphabet, and the mayor consulted the Indonesian government on the possibility of making the writing system official. However, the project encountered difficulties between the city of Baubau, the Hunminjeongeum Society, and the Seoul Metropolitan Government in 2011. The King Sejong Institute which had been established in Baubau in 2011 to teach Hangul to locals, abandoned its offices after a year of operation in 2012. As of 2017 it remains in use in schools and on local signs. In 2020, the first Cia-Cia dictionary was announced. Written in Hangul, it is set to be published in 2023.
