Documentation Status
Documentation status ratings are a way to gauge both what has been accomplished as well as what remains undone in regard to documenting a language in each of ten key domains. The scholarly research, publications, and other resources which merit these ratings are detailed in the bibliography that follows.
Documentation status ratings employ a scale from 3 (well documented in the concerned domain) to 0 (no documentation in the concerned domain). A question mark indicates unknown / not yet rated. For a complete list with all descriptions see further our page devoted to documentation status ratings.
The following table summarizes the documentation status of the Banggai language.
| Domain | Level | Description |

| Sociolinguistics/Survey |
2 |
There exist one or more survey reports based on focused visits to the language area. |
| Text Collection |
1 |
One or a few short texts together with a translation exist. |

Bibliography
The following bibliography is broken down into ten domains: anthropology, dialectology, grammar, historical-comparative linguistics, lexicon/dictionary, orthography, phonology, sociolinguistics/survey, text collection, and word lists. A publication that relates to more than one domain may be cross-listed. Additional resources that concern this language or ethnic group, but which do not clearly relate to one of the ten primary domains, are listed under ‘Other.’ For this eleventh category we make no claim to completeness.
