Representatives of 12 countries have confirmed to attend an international ethnic language congress in the Southeast Sulawesi city of Baubau on July 8, 2010.
Local tourism and cultural office's archaeological service spokesman Ali Arham said Wednesday that out of 30 countries invited to attend the congress, 12 had confirmed their participation.
"They have sent their confirmation to us by email," Ali said, adding that the 12 countries included The Netherlands, Australia, the US, Brunei Darussalam, Malaysia and Papua New Guinea.
Ali said other countries expected to confirm their participation in the near future would be, among others, Germany, China, South Korea, Japan and Singapore.
He said that besides foreign participants, the congress would also be attended by a number of linguists from several universities in Indonesia.
Arham said the congress was aimed at enabling the participants to discuss various issues related to ethnic languages and literature.
The result of the congress would then be reported to the government to make a policy to preserve and develop other languages, he said.
