The Dusunic languages are a group of languages spoken by the Bisaya, Dusun, Kadazan, Rungus, and related peoples in the Malaysian province of Sabah on Borneo.

Languages

The languages are divided as follows, per Ethnologue 15:

  • Dusun: Central Dusun, Kuijau, Papar, Rungus, Lotud, Labuk-Kinabatangan Kadazan, Gana, Kota Marudu Talantang, Kimaragang, Klias River Kadazan, Coastal Kadazan, Tebilung

Not all languages spoken by the Dusun people belong to this group; the East Barito languages include several which are also named 'Dusun'.
