In earlier classifications,
Wolio, spoken in the city of
Baubau (seat of the court of the former Sultanate of Buton) and its immediate surroundings, and
Laiyolo, spoken in the southern part of
Selayar Island, were also included in the MunaâButon group,[4][5] but Donohue (2004) has shown that they form a distinct subgroup of their own,
WotuâWolio, which also includes
Wotu, spoken at the northern shore of the
Bone Gulf.[3]
Van den Berg proposes around 30 lexical innovations for Proto-MunaâButon, e.g., *Éeka 'cat', *kaÉi 'throw away', *kenta 'fish', *kompa 'eel', *potu 'head', *weĆke 'split open (fruit)', *woru 'under'.[2]
