Indonesian Tribe Uses Korean Alphabet to Preserve Ancient Language

The Cia-Cia tribe in Indonesia has a unique language that has been passed down orally for generations.

To preserve this ancient language, the tribe's children are now learning to write it using Hangul, the Korean alphabet.

This innovative approach aims to ensure the survival of Cia-Cia, a language spoken by about 93,000 people on Buton Island.

The Korean script, with its distinctive circles and lines, has proven to be a suitable way to represent the sounds of Cia-Cia.
