TheBadaiclanguages includes three closely relatedAustronesian languagesspoken in the North Lore and South Lore districts inPoso Regency,Central Sulawesi,Indonesia,viz.Bada(Bada’),Behoa(Besoa), andNapu,and alsoLimola,spoken inNorth Luwu Regency,South Sulawesi.[1]Bada, Besoa and Napu are 80–91% lexically similar and to a great degree mutually intelligible, but their speakers are culturally distinct.[2]

Classification

[edit]

The classification of the Badaic languages has been controversial. While traditionally held to be a branch of theKaili-Pamona languages,[3][4]they share many features with languages of theSekobranch of theSouth Sulawesi languages[2]and have been reclassified in recent sugrouping proposals as South Sulawesi languages that were strongly influenced by Kaili-Pamona languages.[5][6]

Zobel (2020) classifies Badaic with theSeko languagesas part of aSeko–Badaicgroup within theSouth Sulawesibranch.[7][1]
