One theory states that it is modelled after the <a href="/wiki/Rejang_script" class="mw-redirect" title="Rejang script">Rejang script</a>, perhaps due to their graphical similarities. But this claim may be unfounded as some characters of the Lontara are a late development.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTENoorduyn1993_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTENoorduyn1993-4"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>The term Lontara has also come to refer to literature regarding Bugis history and genealogy, an important subject in traditional South Sulawesi societies. Historically, Lontara was also used for a range of documents including contracts, trade laws, treaties, maps, and journals. These documents are commonly written in a contemporary-like book form, but they can be written in a traditional palm-leaf manuscript called lontar, in which a long, thin strip of dried lontar is rolled to a wooden axis in similar manner to a tape recorder. The text is then read by scrolling the lontar strip from left to right.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTETol1996_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTETol1996-5"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>Lontara in South Sulawesi appears to have first developed in Bugis area of the Cenrana-Walannae region at about 1400. Writing may have spread to other parts of the South Sulawesi from this region, but the possibility of independent developments cannot be dismissed. What is evident is that the earliest written records for which there is any evidence were genealogical.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>When paper became available in South Sulawesi in the early 17th century, Lontara script, which previously had to be written straight, angled-corner and rigid on palm leaves, could now be written faster and more variedly using ink on paper. It is worth noting that R.A. Kern (1939:580-3) writes that modified curved letters in the Lontara script one finds written on paper do not appear to have been used in the palm-leaf Bugis manuscripts he examined.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>Through the efforts of Dutch Linguist, B.F. Matthes, printing types of the Bugis characters, designed and cast in Rotterdam in the mid-19th century, were used from that time onwards for printing in both the South Celebes capital, Makassar, and Amsterdam. They were also used as models for teaching the script in schools, first in Makassar and environs, and then gradually in other areas of South Celebes. This process of standardization clearly influenced the later handwriting of the script. As a standard style of the script emerged, previously existing variations disappeared.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEJukes2019535_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEJukes2019535-8"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> By the end of the 19th century, the use of the <a href="/wiki/Makasar_script" title="Makasar script">Makasar</a> (or <i>Jangang-Jangang</i> script) had been completely replaced by the Lontara Bugis script, which Makassarese writers sometimes referred to as "New Lontara". <sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEJukes201949_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEJukes201949-9"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>Although the Latin alphabet has largely replaced Lontara, it is still used to a limited extent in Bugis and Makasar.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> In Bugis, its usage is limited to ceremonial purposes such as wedding ceremonies.

Not all lines are filled if the corresponding dates did not have anything considered worthwhile to note, but only one line is reserved for each date. For a particularly eventful date, a writer would freely rotate the lines to fill in all available space.

However at the dawn of the 21st century, the volume and quality of Lontara publications rapidly declined. To paraphrase Tol (2015), the impression that these publications make on present readers, with their old-fashioned techniques, unattractive manufacture, and general sloppiness, is that they are very much something of the past. Today, almost no new publications are published in Lontara, and even reprints of works that originally have Lontara are often replaced by Romanized version.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTETol201571,_75_22-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTETol201571,_75-22"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Contemporary_use">Contemporary use</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Lontara_script&amp;action=edit&amp;section=3" title="Edit section: Contemporary use"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Aksara_Lontara-10_Papan_tanda_museum_Balla_Lompoa.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fa/Aksara_Lontara-10_Papan_tanda_museum_Balla_Lompoa.jpg/240px-Aksara_Lontara-10_Papan_tanda_museum_Balla_Lompoa.jpg" decoding="async" width="240" height="188" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fa/Aksara_Lontara-10_Papan_tanda_museum_Balla_Lompoa.jpg/360px-Aksara_Lontara-10_Papan_tanda_museum_Balla_Lompoa.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fa/Aksara_Lontara-10_Papan_tanda_museum_Balla_Lompoa.jpg/480px-Aksara_Lontara-10_Papan_tanda_museum_Balla_Lompoa.jpg 2x" data-file-width="4307" data-file-height="3380" /></a><figcaption>Signage with Lontara in <a href="/w/index.php?title=Museum_Balla_Lompoa&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1" class="new" title="Museum Balla Lompoa (page does not exist)">Museum Balla Lompoa</a>, <a href="/wiki/Gowa" class="mw-redirect" title="Gowa">Gowa</a>.</figcaption></figure> <p>In contemporary context, the Lontara script has been part of the local curriculum in South Sulawesi since the 1980s, and may be found infrequently in public signage. However, anecdotal evidence suggest that current teaching methods as well as limited and monotonous reading materials has in fact been counter productive in raising the script's literacy among younger generation. South Sulawesi youth are generally aware of the script's existence and may recognize a few letters, but it is rare for someone to able to read and write Lontara in a substantial manner. Sufficient knowledge of such manner is often limited to older generations who may still use Lontara in private works.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEJukes201416–17_23-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEJukes201416–17-23"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEMacknight201666–68_24-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMacknight201666–68-24"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> An example is Daeng Rahman from Boddia village, Galesong (approximately 15 km south of <a href="/wiki/Makassar" title="Makassar">Makassar</a>), who wrote various events in Galesong since 1990 in Lontara registers (similar to the chronicle genre of <i>attoriolong/patturiolong</i>).

For example, when researcher William Cummings conducted his study of Makassar writing tradition, a local contact told him of a Lontara heirloom in one family (whose members are all illiterate in Lontara) that no one had dared to open. After he was allowed to open the manuscript in order to check its content, it turned out to be a purchase receipt of a horse (presumably long dead by the time).<sup id="cite_ref-cummings_26-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-cummings-26"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Ambiguity">Ambiguity</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Lontara_script&amp;action=edit&amp;section=4" title="Edit section: Ambiguity"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Lontara script does not have a <a href="/wiki/Virama" title="Virama">virama</a> or other ways to write syllable codas in a consistent manner, even though codas occur regularly in <a href="/wiki/Bugis_language" class="mw-redirect" title="Bugis language">Bugis</a> and <a href="/wiki/Makassarese_language" title="Makassarese language">Makassar</a>.

Some Bugis experts describe them as necessary additions to preserve the script's cultural relevance, in addition to practical benefits such as making texts less ambiguous and teaching Lontara easier. In 2003, Djirong Basang proposed three new diacritics: virama, glottal stop, and nasal coda (akin to <a href="/wiki/Anusvara" title="Anusvara">anusvara</a>).<sup id="cite_ref-uni_33-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-uni-33"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>32<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Anshuman Pandey recorded no less than three alternative viramas proposed in various publications up to 2016.<sup id="cite_ref-uni2_37-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-uni2-37"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>35<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> However, there are disagreements on whether new diacritics should be added to the Lontara repertoire at all. Other Bugis experts such as Nurhayati Rahman view such proposals negatively, arguing that they are often too disruptive or promoted based on simplistic and misleading premises that the so called "defectiveness" of Lontara need to be "completed" by conforming to Latin orthographical norms. Such proposals shows more of an <a href="/wiki/Inferiority_complex" title="Inferiority complex">inferiority complex</a> that would alienate actual cultural practice and heritage from contemporary
