Wikipedia description:
Sumbawa ( soom-BAH-wə; Basa Samawa, Satera Jontal script: ᨅᨔ ᨔᨆᨓ, IPA: [basa saˈma.wa]; Indonesian: Bahasa Sumbawa [baˈha.sa sʊmˈbawa]) or Sumbawan is a Malayo-Polynesian language of the western half of Sumbawa Island, Indonesia, which it shares with speakers of Bima. It is closely related to the languages of adjacent Lombok and Bali; indeed, it is the easternmost Austronesian language in the south of Indonesia that is not part of the Central Malayo-Polynesian Sprachbund. The Sumbawa write their language with their own native script commonly known in their homeland as Satera Jontal and they also use the Latin script.
