Batak Karo, referred to in Indonesia simply as Bahasa Karo (Karo language), is an Austronesian language that is spoken by
the Karo people of Indonesia. It is used by around 600,000 people in North Sumatra. It is mainly spoken in Karo Regency, southern
parts of Deli Serdang Regency and northern parts of Dairi Regency, North Sumatra, Indonesia. It was historically written using
the Batak alphabet which is descended from the Brahmi script of ancient India by way of the Pallava and Old Kawi scripts,
but nowadays only a tiny number of Karo can write or understand the script, and instead the Latin script is used. |
