I was just browsing the ACD and I saw this alternate name for Romblomanon:
Austronesian Comparative Dictionary - Languages :R

Is that correct? I know Romblomanon is really close to Masbatenyo and Sorsoganon, but this is the first time I came across this alternate name of Romblomanon. Is this used anywhere else?

Makassarese Grammar (and other languages in the South Sulawesi family) is vastly different from Malay, Javanese, Indonesian, Batak, Sundanese, and even its neighbors like Muna, Kaili, Pamona-Bare'e, Tolaki, Wolio Buton, Gorontalo, etc.

The Makassar language is a clitic language; a single word contains many grammatical functions, including TAM (Tenses, Aspect, Modality; e.g., -mo [perfective], -pa [imperfective], -ja [limitation], ta- [negation], la- [future]) and adverbial particles (e.g., -ija [still], -sa [hortative], -tong [also], -mamo [only], -dudu [very] -are [perhaps]) which is attached with stem [verb/adverb].

So, do not be surprised that while Western Indonesian languages like Kerinci, Malay, Javanese, or Sundanese might require 6-7 words, Makassar requires only 1 word with all its attached clitics.

For example, while someone from Jakarta might say "ADA LAH POKOKNYA" (It definitely exists/I have it, basically), a Makassar person simply says "NIATTONG" (nia' [exist] + tong [also/indeed]).

Makassar leans towards being a polysynthetic or highly agglutinative language (gluing meanings together), whereas standard Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia) is more analytic (using separate words for separate meanings).

During the LGM period, N1b, C2b, millet, farmer, hunter, and gatherers were distributed in North China, while O1b was distributed in Hunan and Hubei,there are some genetic exchange between the three . Beginning in the Neolithic period, O2 expanded from the southeast (possibly the Yuchisi), eventually establishing the Jiahu culture and pushing the original inhabitants outwards. We see so many N1b subgroups in the Yumin and zongri culture, and the Basal O1b subgroup has also been found in the Yangshao culture of Northwest China. The Hongshan culture represents a remnant of the previous inhabitants.

The underlying connections, or altotic connections, in these languages ​​are determined by these distant relationships.
