Buginese

The Buginese script is used on parts of the island of Sulawesi, Indonesia for writing the Buginese/Bugis language. Modern usage is limited but the script was previously used for contracts, trade laws, treaties, and maps. It was also used to write the Makassar, Bimanese, and Madurese languages. The script is also called "Lontara".

Letters have an inherent -a vowel. The other vowels are indicated by a mark above, below, to the left, or to the right of the letter, depending on the vowel. Vowels at the beginning of syllables are represented by using U+1A15 (A) as a base for the vowel mark. Syllables ending in a consonant are not differentiated.
