Language Policy in Indonesia: Relating to the Issue of Cia-Cia Tribe's Adoption of the Korean Alphabet as Its Writing System. Journal of the International Network for Korean Language and Culture. Vol. 7-2. 171-193. Since August 2008, some school children in elementary schools in the Cia-Cia community began to use textbooks, which were transcribed in the Korean alphabet. Owing to this incident, the Bau-Bau City, where the Cia-Cia tribe lives, received the worldwide press attention. Yet, excessive competition among the foreign and domestic media companies on this issue has caused an unnecessary misunderstanding, particularly on the news regarding the authorization of the Korean alphabet as the official writing system for the Cia-Cia Tribe. The official writing system of Indonesia is Roman alphabet. The Cia-Cia language is one of some 700 Indonesian tribal languages, and is now on the verge of extinction. The Cia-Cia tribe is one of the small tribes in Indonesia, where about 240 millions are dwelling. As the Indonesian citizens, the Cia-Cia tribe has the rights and obligations to use Indonesia's official language and alphabet. Particularly Indonesia, the country of multi-lingual, multi-ethnic, and multi-cultural diversities, has emphasized the language policy, which supports the national unity. This paper analyzes several concerns on the matter of Cia-Cia's utilization of the Korean alphabet for the past year. In this paper, the researcher tries to find the kernel of the debates on this issue and to discuss the constructive directions for the Cia-Cia Tribe's utilization of the Korean alphabet in the future.(Hankuk University of Foreign Studies)
