Komering is a Malayo-Polynesian language spoken in Indonesia, in the southern part of Sumatra.
Location
Komering in the Lampung Province in southern Sumatra, along the Komering River.
Classification
Komering belongs to the group of Lampung languages, one of the groups within the Malayo-Polynesian branch of the Austronesian family.[3] Walker regards Komering as a mere dialect, presenting Lampung as a single language instead of a group of languages;[4] others treat it as a dialect specifically of Lampung Api.
