"BAU-BAU, Indonesia, July 26 — The Indonesian government has approved a minority tribe's adoption of the Korean alphabet as its official writing system to transcribe its fading spoken language, officials said Monday.
The Cia-Cia, a tribe of some 80,000 people living in the city of Bau-Bau, located on Buton island in southeast Sulawesi, selected the Korean alphabet, called "Hangeul," to preserve its fading language last August. It has since offered a Korean language course in elementary schools."
