Abstract

Buli language belongs to one of Austronesian languages, South Halmahera-West New Guinea, the Subgroup of South Halmahera. As a member of Austronesian languages, this article intends to present linguistic evidence, phonological aspects which may clarify and highlight the issues. The explanation to the issues applies a top-down approach by considering the realization of Proto-Austronesian phoneme into Buli language. The results of identification process indicate that there are PAN's phonemes which are still retained and those having undergone innovation. Both those reflexes belonging to retention and innovation can each be regular and non-regular.
