II. Languages of Netherlands Territory. 
1. SANGAU, BeHE, MeNJUKEI, SlDIN.f 
The first vocabulary of any Borneo language, that of 
J. C. M. Radermacher,! represented the language of 
“ Daijakers,” or “ Biajos.” The list was obtained by 
Resident Stuart, of Pontiana, from a place distant ten days’ 
journey north-west of Sangouw, on the Kapuas River. The 
kingdom of Sanggau lies in the basin of the Sekajam River. 
Its boundaries are Taj an and Landak on the west, Sambas 
on the north-west, Sarawak on the north, Sekadau on the 
east and south-east, and Meliau on the south. According 
to Hollander^ the inhabitants are a mixture of original 
Dayaks with all sorts of colonists, including Malays. 
* These examples are from Rev. A. Reijffert’s MS. Singhi Vocabulary, 
f In the names of places and tribes of Netherlands Borneo, j should 
be pronounced as y.
