- Abstract
This article presents information on Ibanic languages in Kalimantan Barat, Indonesia. Iban, spoken as a first language by hundreds of thousands of people in Sarawak, Brunei, Sabah and western Kalimantan and as a second language by scores of thousands more, has long been an object of scholarly research. Although the Iban communities of Sarawak comprise the largest ethnic group in the state with a population of more than 600,000, across the border in Kalimantan Barat the number of ethnic Ibans is rather small and the distribution of Iban communities often displays a pattern of pockets or enclaves distant from each other.
