According to the accepted classification of the Austronesian languages, comerising refers to the Malay-Polynesian group [2] , the West Pond zone , to its Lampung branch. Five dialects stand out [1] . Some researchers believe that the Lampung branch is represented in one language (actually, Lampung), and the rest are its dialects, including comearing [3] . At the same time, there is a significant lexical similarity with the api dialect of the Lampung language (70-74%), in connection with which cuming is often included in this dialect.
