Abstract
Partly to the North, but mostly to the West of the North Borneo Murut area Dusun is spoken. Dialects of this language are to be found along the rivers which debouch into the South China Sea, from the Klias River in the South up to the Tempasuk River in the North, on the peninsulas Kudat and Melobong, and further into the interior South-West of Marudu Bay and in the region of the headwaters of the rivers Labuk, Sugut (Sugud) and Kinabatangan. Perhaps the language spoken by part of the inhabitants of Banggi Island will have to be considered as a Dusun dialect.
