The results of the study show that regarding the greetings of Karaeng and Daeng namely, (1) the greetings of Karaeng and Daeng are the highest greetings for the Makassar ethnic area which are now in the Rappocini District. This greeting is also only pinned on certain people by looking at lineage and still having the royal blood of a Karaeng and Daeng, however, greetings that follow based on blood ties only apply in ancient times, different from now, this usage is considered common and is still remains the highest respectful greeting but the embedding is different because it refers to a religion that encourages mutual respect and appreciation so that one of the manifestations of this is to use the greeting to older people, (2) There has been a change in the mention of the greeting Karaeng and Daeng based on the situation and the location of the greeting.
