Talk:Iban language

Kalimantan

"The Iban language is spoken in Kalimantan (Borneo) by the Iban," There is something wrong about this. Why? Because there are more Ibans in in Malaysia than Indonesia. So it is incorrect to write it this way. But, thank you for editing this article. At least somebody out there recognise my people.

Why are there 26 letters representing the alphabet, but it says there are only 22 letters in it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lightvd (talk • contribs) 20:06, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

My recent edits

Thanks for writing this very interesting page! I made a half-dozen edits to the page to clean up the English slightly. I hasten to add that there were no outright errors and the style was good but that there are always changes that a native speaker can provide to make it "read better". I wish I spoke your language as well as you spoke mine!

Here's a (little) suggestion that might make your page more useful. I speak Indonesian, and no one told me that that meant I could understand Malay until I was actually talking to a Malay person. I can sort of understand the Iban fragments you have here - would a Malay speaker be able to follow a conversation in Iban, or not? How does the Iban accent and mode of speech compare and contrast with Malay or Indonesian?

Either way, a sentence describing this would clear things up for a lot of people, certainly me at least!

Thanks again for your work.
