Cia-Cia
Cia-Cia is an indigenous language spoken by the Cia-Cia people in Indonesia, primarily on the island of Seram. It is part of the Austronesian language family, which includes many languages spread across Southeast Asia and the Pacific. The language has unique grammar and vocabulary that reflect the culture and history of its speakers. Efforts are ongoing to preserve and promote Cia-Cia, as many indigenous languages face challenges from global dominance of major languages like Indonesian. Recognizing and supporting Cia-Cia helps maintain cultural diversity and linguistic heritage.
