the Bible ( al-Kitab )
Dusun: Bundu...
"The Dusun people number more than 150,000, approximately
one third of the population of Sabah (North Borneo), Malaysia.
Dusun, a term meaning ‘farmer’, in Malay, covers numerous
tribal groups living in upland areas.   However, many groups are
moving, with official encouragement, into the more fertile
lowland regions.

A language of the Western, or Indonesian, branch of the Malayo-
Polynesian family, Dusun, with Tagal, shows affinities with the
Philippine tongues.   The number of dialects and their boundaries
has not been determined.   The Bundu dialect, formerly known
as Ulu Tuaran, is spoken by about 25,000 people in the Bundu
Tuhan area."
