Busoa is a member of the Celebic group and closely related to its large neighbour Muna. This study, which is based on a limited number of days of fieldwork in the language, includes a grammatical sketch (phonology and morphosyntax), as well as 12 interlinearized texts with free translation, and a 1460-item trilingual vocabulary.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Malcolm Ross</div><div class="">List administrator</div></body></html>
