The analysis was carried out on 200 Swades vocabularies carried out in the field. The results of the study were analyzed in four categories. The categories in question are phoneme identification, phoneme distribution, phoneme clusters and tribal patterns in the Tae Rongkong dialect. Based on phoneme identification, there were 5 (five) vowel phonemes [u], [a], [e], [O], and [o]; 9 (Nine) consonant phonemes [m], [l], [s], [r], [b], [k], [d], [t], and [n]; based on the distribution of vowel phonemes found 9 (nine) vowel phonemes [a], [i], [u], [I], [e], [e], [o], [U], and [O]; while the distribution of consonant phonemes found 15 (fifteen) consonant phonemes [b], [d], [g], [j], [k], [l], [m], [n], [ŋ], [ p], [r], [s], [t], [v], and [?]; also found 10 (ten) vocal phoneme clusters /ai/, /au/, /ae/, /ia/, /ua/, /uo/, /ei/, /oe/, /oa/, and /io/; and in the consonant phoneme group, 6 (six) consonant phonemes were found /nd/, /nt/, /mb/, /mp/, /ŋk/, /kg/, and /nd/; The tribal patterns found by researchers in the Tae Rongkong dialect consist of trisyllabic patterns with monosyllabic V, polysyllabic K.V, V.K, trisyllabic K.K.KV and four-syllabic KK.K.K.V. Keywords: Tae Language, Rongkong Dialect, Phonological System A. INTRODUCTION Various kinds of languages spread in Indonesia such as Batak language, Sundanese language, Javanese language, etc. The languages in Indonesia are dominated by regional languages which are different on each island in Indonesia. The islands of Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Papua and small islands scattered in various regions in Indonesia are unique in terms of the sound of the language used by the community in daily communication. Tae language is most widely used in Luwu Regency, including Larompong District, Suli District, Belopa District, (the capital city of Luwu Regency), Bajo District, Bupon District (Bua Ponrang), Bastem District (Basse Sangtempe'), Walendrang District, and Palopo City. Other names for the Tae language are Rongkong dialects, Rongkong Kanandede, Luwu, East Toraja, Sada, Toware, Sangngalla', Tae-Tae. A number of dialects exist in the Tae language, namely the Rongkong dialect, the Luwu dialect, the Northeast Luwu dialect, the South Luwu dialect, and the Bua dialect (Hidayah, 2017: 196). The diversity of a language has the uniqueness of each language speaker with a variety of dialects, this diversity produces a sound spoken by speakers of the language. Research on language sounds or phonology for researchers is research that has its own uniqueness, this because the shape and sound were produced from each language sound spoken by each person has its own uniqueness. Based on research that has been carried out previously with various kinds of phoneme findings in the regional language that is the object of the research, the researcher will conduct a study similar to previous research with a different area or object of research so that it is hoped that more language structures will exist in the area. Indonesia is known by the local community, in this case the language that is the object of research by the researchers in terms of the phonological system is the Tae language used by the speaking community in Rongkong District, North Luwu Regency, South Sulawesi. The formulation of the problem in this study is how is the phonological system of the Tae Rongkong dialect in North Luwu Regency, South Sulawesi based on the formulation of the 24 Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Ekonomi Pemuda VOL. 2 NO. 1 (2021) DOI: https://doi.org/10.48024/ijgame2.v1i1.12 problem, the purpose of this study is to identify and describe qualitatively the phonological system of Tae Rongkong dialect in North Luwu Regency, South Sulawesi. B. RESEARCH METHOD 1. Type Of Research Qualitative research is involved in interacting with the reality under study, describing the phenomena that become facts and natural research tools. Natural means the phenomenon that is the target of research is described as it is without being accompanied by treatment, measurement, and statistical calculations. This research uses descriptive qualitative approach. Data was collected using the field method and the library method to obtain information that correlated with the study. Data collection techniques used listening techniques and note-taking techniques. The results of open interviews related to the instrument were listened to, and then recorded. Furthermore, the entire data was analyzed to determine the phonological system of the Tae Rongkong dialect in North Luwu Regency, South Sulawesi. 2. Research Location The location of this research is Rongkong District, North Luwu Regency, South Sulawesi. 3. Data and Data Sources The data of this research is in the form of Rongkong dialect speech. The data sources in this study were the native speakers of the Rongkong dialect or the people of the Rongkong District. 4. Data Collection Techniques This study used the method of observing. This method has a basic technique in the form of tapping techniques. The tapping technique is a basic technique in the listening method because in essence listening is realized by tapping or the author in an effort to get, it is done by tapping the use of a person's language or how many people are informants. In the next practice, the researcher used this tapping technique with advanced techniques in the form of free listening, speaking, taking notes, and recording techniques. 5. Data Analysis Techniques The researchers processed and analyzed the data using descriptive-qualitative analysis, without using quantitative techniques. Descriptive-qualitative analysis is a technique that describes and interprets the meaning of the data that has been collected by paying attention and recording as many aspects of the situation as possible at the time of the study. C. RESULT AND DISCUSSION In this study, the researchers brought up 200 Swades vocabularies to determine the phonological system of the Tae Rongkong dialect in North Luwu Regency, South Sulawesi. The researchers collected the data from 5 informants in Rongkong District, North Luwu Regency, South Sulawesi. From this vocabulary, the researcher found several language phenomena that occur in the Tae Rogkong dialect. This phenomenon is in the form of language diversity, for example in one vocabulary that is presented by researchers on several vocabularies owned by people who use the Tae Rongkong dialect for the word, including the following: ] and [lalan], this is also found in the word 'come' with the mention of [ratu] and [rampo].
