Sangir: Great...
"‘Great’ Sangir is the language of the inhabitants of the largest of
the Sangir, or Sangihe, Islands, situated in Indonesia between
Celebes and the Philippines.   Several Sangirese dialects are used
throughout the length of the 135-mile long group of isles.   The
Sangirese tongues are linguistically grouped with the Sulawesi
(Celebes) languages, within the Indonesian branch of the
Malayo-Polynesian family."
