Of course, the Roman system seems to be the most widespread worldwide, especially for languages with no previous writing system. As a PhD student working in the field of language revitalization in the Americas, I have mixed feelings about which scripts should be used, or how. It should be the choice of the Cia-Cia community, of course, though both the HRI and the Indonesian government provide good cases for their respective scripts. I'll be interested to see how popular Hangul among the Cia-Cia and if it might spread to other languages of the region.
