The Bugis, sailors and merchant people, constituted the biggest part of the population of the Selebes Island, inhabited equally by the Makassars. Its literature is partially composed of written texts having many prose overalls being transmitted by oral tradition. The epic and lender narration was fulfilled with the help of a poetic language representing a great number of disused words in the common language. The characteristic position of the vocal signs as wheel as the vowel incorporation permits to attribute to the Bugi alphabet an Indian origin still unknown if it comes from directly from the Hindus or other Indonesian people.
