As a member of Austronesian languages, this article intends to present linguistic evidence, phonological aspects which may clarify and highlight the issues. The explanation to the issues applies a top-down approach by considering the realization of Proto-Austronesian phoneme into Buli language. The results of identification process indicate that there are PAN's phonemes which are still retained and those having undergone innovation.
