Wolio is a language spoken on the island of Buton in southeast Sulawesi . It is one of the Malayo-Polynesian languages within the Austronesian languages . Wolio was also the commercial and court language in the Sultanate of Buton. Today it is an official regional language. Street signs in Wolio are written in Arabic script . Wolio has therefore been replaced as a written language by the closely related Latin Cia-Cia , since Indonesian is now taught in schools using the Latin script .
