Padoe is anAustronesian language of theCelebic branch. It was traditionally spoken in the rolling plains south ofLake Matano inSouth Sulawesi province. In the 1950s, a portion of the Padoe-speaking population fled toCentral Sulawesi to escape the ravages of theDarul Islam / Tentara Islam Indonesia (DI/TII) revolt.[2] In 1991, it was estimated there were 5,000 speakers of Padoe in all locations.[3]
Padoe is classified as a member of theBungku-Tolaki group of languages, and shares its closest affinities with theMori Atas language.[4][5] The Padoe language has sometimes been included with Mori Atas andMori Bawah under the broader cover termMori.
