Mead David E. The Bungku-Tolaki languages of south-eastern Sulawesi, Indonesia

The Australian National University, Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, 1999. — 200 p. — (Pacific Linguistics: Series D 91).Languages of the Bungku-Tolaki group are spread across the entire mainland of south-eastern Sulawesi (Celebes), and also encompass the islands of Kabaena, Wawonii, Menui, and the north-eastern portion of the island of Buton. To the north, they are located along the east coast of Sulawesi as far north as the Tomori Bay-with some outposts of Bungku speakers located even further up the coast. From the Tomori Bay, the Bungku-Tolaki language area stretches westward through the Laa and Tambalako valleys, and southward to include the three lakes of Matano, Mahalong and Towuti, all at less than 400 meters elevation.
