Ibanic languages

The Ibanic languages are a branch of the Malayic languages indigenous to western Borneo. They are spoken by the Ibans and related groups in East Malaysia and the Indonesian province of West Kalimantan. Other Dayak languages, called Land Dayak, which are not Ibanic, are found in the northwest corner of Kalimantan, between Ibanic and non-Ibanic Malayic languages such as Kendayan and the Malay dialects of Sarawak and Pontianak.

The term "Ibanic" is coined by Alfred B. Hudson, who was among the first to investigate the genetic affiliation of various languages lumped together under the name "Dayak" in West Borneo.[2] Ibanic has been variously classified as belonging to a larger "Malayic Dayak"[2] or "West Bornean Malayic"[3] subgroup along with Kendayan and related varieties, or as a part of the "Nuclear Malayic" subgroup alongside other Malay dialects.[4]

Languages

According to Ethnologue, six languages belong to the Ibanic subgroup:[5]

gollark: And also just pointless anyway.
gollark: And that's one very very inaccurate test.
gollark: You could be deliberately being slower or whatever.
gollark: That shows absolutely nothing.
gollark: Often, you just want to screenshot a region/window, but now they're adding a fancier, probably more convoluted one.
