	Makasar language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Makasar (previously spelled Makassar or Macassar) is both a language and a writing system used by the people in South Sulawesi island (Celebes) in Indonesia.
		The Makasar language is a member of the Austronesian language family.
		Although Makasar is now often written with the Roman alphabet, it is still widely written in its own distinctive script, also called Lontara; which once was used also to write important documents in Bugis and Mandar, two related language from Sulawesi.

	Marc LAnguage Codes for Name Qualifiers (TNS) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The language codes are three-character lowercase alphabetic strings usually based on the first three letters of the English form or, in some cases, vernacular of the corresponding language name.
		While some individual languages are given their own unique code, although linguistically they are part of a language group, many individual languages are assigned a group code, because it is not considered practical to establish a separate code for each.
		Ancient languages which are not given unique codes are assigned the code for the major language group to which each belongs, rather than the code for the modern language which evolved from the ancient language.

	Ujung Pandang: a Brief Sociolinguistic Overview
		However, language loyalty and maintenance among these communities is not as high as among the Bugis and the Makassar communities in Ujung Pandang.
		Makasar, Bugis, and Mandar all employ a native script called 'lontara(k)' (from Malay lontar 'the palmyra palm', because leaves of this palm were used as writing material).
		Nevertheless, romanization is now being introduced in schools, where regional languages are sometimes used in rural areas as the means of instruction for the first two years (as well as being taught as a subject until sixth grade).

		The Geez language (or Giiz language) is an ancient language that developed in the Ethiopian Highlands of the Horn of Africa as the language of the peasantry.
		A glance at the oldest Brahmi inscriptions shows striking parallels with contemporary Aramaic for the half of the phonemes that are equivalent between the two languages, especially if the letters are flipped to reflect the change in writing direction.
		In spoken language, a phoneme is a basic, theoretical unit of sound that can distinguish words (that is, changing a phoneme in a word, produces another word, that has a different meaning).

		The namespace of language tags is administered by the IANA according to the rules in section 5 of this document.
		Note: This use of a prefix matching rule does not imply that language tags are assigned to languages in such a way that it is always true that if a user understands a language with a certain tag, then this user will also understand all languages with tags for which this tag is a prefix.

		that's bcoz this particular alphabet is used to write not only the Bugis language, but also the Makassar and Mandar languages, altogether different ppl dan languages, but generally still spoken in the province of South Celebes.
