This study compares the Bima, Manggarai, and Komodo languages. The three languages are spoken in East and West Nusa Tenggara. This study aims to describe the kinship of the Bima and Komodo languages and to describe the kinship of the Bima and Manggarai languages. Data collection is conducted using both the interview method and the listening method, and the data are analyzed descriptively and qualitatively in a diachronic study. The results of the study indicate that the Bima and Komodo languages have a close relationship. This can be proven through descriptive analysis, both through primary and secondary rules. Through primary rules, corresponding phonemes are found. In addition to primary rules, secondary rule phenomena are also found, such as prothesis, metathesis, dissimilation, assimilation, lenition, apocope, and extension for the sake of balance. Bima also has a close relationship with Manggarai. This can also be proven through descriptive analysis, both through primary and secondary rules. Through primary rules, corresponding phonemes are found. In addition to primary rules, secondary rule phenomena are also found, such as prothesis, dissimilation, apocope, lenition, apharesis, fusion, and changes in glottal stop sounds.
