This research describes the genetic relationship between the language of Wolio, Muna-Buton languages subgroup which is administratively located in the southeastern coastal areas of Southeast Sulawesi, and the three languages on the island of Selayar, namely Laiyolo, Selayar, and Bonerate which is administratively located in coastal areas southern the province of South Sulawesi. This research was conducted through two approaches both quantitatively and qualitatively. Quantitative approach by the lexicostatistics techniques explained the genetic relationship of four studied languages. Qualitative approach intended to provide evidences of genetic relationship of the four languages by the criterion of shared innovation in the field of phonology and lexicon. The research is formulated through the study of synchronic and diachronic perspective. The synchronic perspective consists of the language phonological description of Wolio, Laiyolo, Selayar, and Bonerate. This research is also investigated the similarity and differences of phonology and lexicon of the four studied languages. The result of diachronic analysis by technique of lexicostatistic shows the family tree of the four genetic relationship studied language. The genetic relationship between the language of Wolio and Laiyolo is closer than Selayar and Bonerate language. The evidences of lexical shared innovation prove the close relationship between Wolio and Laiyolo language that cannot be found on Selayar and Bonerate language. Those evidences not only show the divergence of group, but also unifying group by analyzing reflexes of PAN phonemes toward PWLSB in the form of reconstruction from the top to down (Top-Down reconstruction). The result of this research significantly not only clarifies that the four languages is a group of language that formed West Muna-Buton subgroup, but also shows the genetic relationship of Wolio and Bonerate language as historically closer than Selayar and Bonerate language.
