The Bugis language is one of the major regional languages spoken in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, particularly in areas such as Bone, Wajo, Soppeng, Sidrap, Sinjai, and Pare-pare. It consists of several dialects, including Bone, Wajo, Soppeng and Barru, with the Barru dialect showing distinctive lexical and phonological features. Bugis is used in both formal and informal communication and is often mixed with Indonesian and English through code-switching and code-mixing, especially in daily conversations and digital communication. This dataset focuses on the Barru dialect and includes both formal and informal registers. It can be used for linguistic analysis, sociolinguistic studies, dialect comparison, language preservation, and natural language processing (NLP).
