LOCATION DESCRIPTION: Spoken by both a west coastal and a middle hill population of a total of about 13,000 (reported in 1991 as 15,000 or fewer) in the extreme western part of the northeastern peninsula of Sulawesi, where it joins the narrow neck which links it to the bulk of Sulawesi. Today the middle hill people all live in resettlement projects and small hamlets near the coast.
