Ribun
Definition
- Ribun is a Malayo-Polynesian language spoken in Kalimantan, the Indonesian part of Borneo. The Malayo-Polynesian languages are a subgroup of the Austronesian languages encompassing approximately 390 million speakers. All major Austronesian languages belong to the Malayo-Polynesian subgroup. Together with closely related Jangkang (djo), Semandang (sdq), Sanggau (scg) and Kembayan (xem) languages, Ribun belongs to the Southern Land Dayak sub-branch. Austronesian languages often possess phoneme inventories smaller than the world average. Two salient morphological characteristics are a system of affixation and reduplication to form new words.
