Abstract
This writing aimed to explore Bugis and Kaili’s language trace of kinship using a Comparative Linguistics point of view or what is commonly called Comparative Historical Linguistics. In particular, this study aimed to find out how far the footprint of Bugis and Kaili language and when both languages separate from its proto-language. The data were analyzed by implementing lexicostatistics and glottochronology techniques to identify quantitative evidence, and sound correspondence was applied to identify qualitative evidences. The results reveal that in lexicostatistics the cognate percentage of both languages is 27% and by glottochronology calculation of both languages split from their proto-language between 660 – 918 CE (2020). Qualitatively, there are six sets of sound correspondences found in BB and BK are: / ǝ - a /, / a - ǝ /, / o - u /, / m - n /, / b - v /, and /? - Ø /, and six types of sound changes found, are: Lenition and fortition, sound loss, apocope, syncope, sound addition, and metathesis.
