Four tribal languages spoken by Sarawak ethnics now extinct

Four tribal languages spoken by Sarawak ethnics are now extinct, according to Sarawak Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP).

Sarawak DBP director, Abang Haliman Abang Julai said according to researchers, the tribal languages that are now extinct are Seru, Pegu, Bliun and Lelak. “Maybe the speaker has migrated or is in a mixed marriage situation and so forth followed then by the diminishing number of the tribe’s community,” he said after the adjournment of the 2023 Sarawak Tribal Language General Database Workshop 2023, here, today.

He said he does not have the actual number of tribal languages that are now almost extinct in Sarawak but he believed that among the tribal languages that are vanishing are those from the Kejaman and Lakiput tribes. "So, those who are present here are representatives of the ethnic groups and they get the opportunity to share the terms or words and we are here to record and store the recordings in our database,” he explained.
