Brill A Grammar of Makasar: A Language of South Sulawesi, Indonesia: 10 (Mainland and Insular South East Asia, 10)

The book describes the Makasar language of South Sulawesi, Indonesia, drawing heavily on three centuries of literary sources. Makasarese is notable as headmarking and ergative/absolutive in alignment, and its large number of geminate and preglottalised consonants. About the Author Anthony Jukes, Ph.D. (2006), University of Melbourne, has worked on documenting and describing several languages of Sulawesi (Indonesia) especially Makassarese, and written about language language endangerment and documentation. Paul James Sidwell, Ph.D. (1999) University of Melbourne, has published extensively on the history of the Austroasiatic languages. He was a Senior Research Fellow at the Australian National University until 2016 and subsequently worked in forensic linguistics as a private consultant.
