In English

Lontara is a typical writing of the Bugis-Makassar people that has existed for hundreds of years. Lontara is a cultural art of the Bugis community in the form of traditional script. Derived from a type of leaf typical of South Sulawesi called lontar until then the local community named it Lontara. The Lontara script, which is famous until now, cannot be separated from the important role of Daeng Pamatte. He was a government official at the time of the 9th King of Gowa, Karaeng Tumapa'risi Kallonna. It was from the hands of Daeng Pamatte that the letters Lontara Makassar, and the book Lontara Bilang Gowa Tallo were created. The initial story of the birth of the Lontara script, starting with Karaeng Tumapa'risi's order to create Makassar letters, then in subsequent developments Daeng Pamatte's Lontara continued to increase until the 19th century until the number became 19 with the addition of the letter 'ha'. Furthermore, it was further developed for the purposes of the Bugis language, namely ngka, mpa, nra, and nca into 23 letters. Of these 23, what was finally known as the Bugis Makassar Lontara Script.
