While in earlier classifications, Wolio, Laiyolo,[1] and later also Wotu,[2] were included in the
MunaâButon subgroup,[3] Donohue (2004) has shown that based on phonological evidence, the WotuâWolio languages form a distinct subgroup of their own.[4]
Mead (2003) included the WotuâWolio languages as one out of six branches in the
Celebic subgroup.[5]
Zobel (2020) lists the WotuâWolio languages, which he calls Southern KailiâWolio, as
Ledo,
Wotu,
Wolio,
Kamaru,
Kalao, and
Loa' (
Barang-Barang). Wolio, Kamaru, Kalao, and Loa' (Barang-Barang) make up the Island KailiâWolio subgroup within Southern KailiâWolio.
Ledo has
KailiâPamona morphological and grammatical features, while its lexicon is mainly of WotuâWolio origin.
Mamuju is traditionally classified as
South Sulawesi, but has a WotuâWolio lexical substratum.[6]
