Malayic Dayak is a dialect chain of Malayic[2] spoken in West Kalimantan (North Kayong, Ketapang, Kapuas Hulu, Melawi, and Sintang) and the western part of Central Kalimantan (Lamandau, Sukamara, West Kotawaringin, Seruyan, and East Kotawaringin).
Wurm and Hattori (1981) list these dialects as Delang (200,000 speakers), Kayong (100,000 speakers), Banana’ (100,000 speakers), Bamayo, Tapitn (300 speakers), Mentebah-Suruk (20,000 speakers), Semitau (10,000 speakers), Suhaid (10,000 speakers), and additionally Arut, Lamandau, Sukamara, Riam (Nibung Terjung), Belantikan (Sungkup), Tamuan, Tomun, Pangin, Sekakai, and Silat. These dialects should not be confused with the Ibanic branch or other Malayic languages spoken by the Dayaks.
