Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together.

Indonesian, the official and national language of Indonesia, is a standardized variety of Malay and has long served as a lingua franca in the multilingual Indonesian archipelago. Indonesia, the fourth most populous country globally, has over 279 million people, the majority of whom speak Indonesian, making it one of the world's most widely spoken languages.

Buginese is a language spoken by about 4 million people primarily in southern Sulawesi, Indonesia. It belongs to the South Sulawesi subgroup of the Austronesian language family and is closely related to Campalagian. Traditionally, Buginese was written in the Lontara script, derived from the Brahmic family and used for Makassar and Mandar languages. The name Lontara comes from the Malay word for the palmyra palm, which was traditionally used for manuscripts. Today, Buginese is often written in the Latin script.
