Mortensen Christian. The Kemaloh Lun Bawang Language of Borneo

University of Hawaii, 2021. — 315 p.The subject of this dissertation is the Lun Bawang language (also called Lundayeh, and formerly also Murut), and in particular the Kemaloh dialect thereof, spoken principally in highland Borneo in the area near, and on all sides of, the borders dividing Malaysia’s Sarawak and Sabah and Indonesia’s Kalimantan Utara. The dissertation is based primarily on a combined total of six months of fieldwork, including the author’s learning to speak the language fluently, conducted mostly in and around Long Semadoh, on the headwaters of Sarawak’s Trusan River. It is supplemented by several additional months of studying locally published collections of transcribed oral literature. On these bases, it presents the most complete description of the language published anywhere to date, divided into three parts.
