Lampung is a language spoken by the Lampung people in southern Sumatra in the Lampung province . It is one of the Malayo-Polynesian languages within the Austronesian languages . It is a dialect cluster with two main dialects, which some linguists see as different languages: Abung / Pepadun ( Lampung Nyo ) and Pesisir / Say Batin ( Lampung Api ). A third variant, Komering , is sometimes seen as part of Lampung Api, by other linguists as a separate language. Lampung Api is the most respected variety.

Before the introduction of the Latin script , Lampung was written in a script called Aksara Lampung or Hatte Lampung , which is a variant of the Ulu script used in central and southern Sumatra .
