Cia-Cia (Bahasa Ciacia) also known as Buton(ese) is an Austronesian language spoken principally around the town of Bau-Bau 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 town of Bau-Bau was teaching children to read and write Cia-Cia in hangul and the mayor consulted the Indonesian government on the possibility of making the writing system official.However the project was abandoned in 2012.
