Austronesian Malayo-Polynesian Nuclear MP (unclassified; possibly Buton) Hukumina

Hukumina is an extinct and unclassified Austronesian language recently spoken in the northwest of Buru Island in the Moluccas of eastern Indonesia. However, it may not have been one of the indigenous Buru languages, but an old migration from Buton Island off the southeast coast of Sulawesi and thus possibly a Buton language.
