Abstract
Here we want to mention a number of wordlists which evidently concern one and the same language or very closely connected dialects of one language, which we shall indicate as Embaloh after the name of the tributary of the Kapuas where the tribes who speak this language are settled. According to Bouman (224, p. 158; 25, p. 49) the speakers of this language form part of a larger complex of tribes: the Taman of the Upper Kapuas and the Suai, the Taman Mendalem, Taman Sibau, Palin, Lauk, Leboyan and Kalis Dayak. However, the data are lacking which would enable us to determine whether we are concerned here with a separate group of languages.
