Karo Batak is a Western Malayo-Polynesian (WMP) language of north-western Sumatra. There are approximately 600,000 speakers in the main Karo-speaking area, a fertile highland plateau which borders the large volcanic Lake Toba. Karo is the second largest of the Batak group; its major bordering languages are Acehnese and several other Batak languages of which Toba Batak is the largest and best known. Partly due to the relatively inaccessible highland location the Karo language and cultural traditions have remained largely intact
