Classification
Komering belongs to the group of Lampung languages, one of the groups within the Malayo-Polynesian branch of the Austronesian family.[3] Walker regards Komering as a mere dialect, presenting Lampung as a single language instead of a group of languages;[4] others treat it as a dialect specifically of Lampung Api.
