Iban language
The Iban language, also known as Iban or Sea Dayak, is an Austronesian language primarily spoken by the Iban people of Sarawak in Malaysia and parts of Indonesia. It features a rich oral tradition, including storytelling and song, and has its own unique vocabulary, phonetics, and grammar. Historically, it was primarily an oral language but now includes written forms using the Latin script. Iban plays a vital role in cultural identity, preserving traditions, and fostering community ties among its speakers. It is recognized as an important aspect of Sarawakâs diverse linguistic heritage.
