THE LANGUAGES OF BORNEO. 
about three thousand words has been published by K. W. 
Tiedtke.* * * § Details are wanting as to the exact tribes to 
which the vocabulary refers. 
Katingan is the name given to a vocabulary published 
with the Sampit by K. W. Tiedtke, but as in the former 
list no exact indication of locality is given. The Katingan 
Kiver flows parallel to the Sampit, about midway between 
the south-west and south-east corners of Borneo. The 
language agrees very closely with the Sampit, and appears 
to be only a dialect of the same language. Some notes on 
the people are to be found in the Report of the Rhenish 
Missionary Society for 1891. 
4. Pari. 
Logan mentions these as the most inland people of 
Borneo. He says t : “ The aborigines of the interior of 
the great Kahayan basin do not, I believe, know any tribes 
more inland than the Daya Pari.” According to the Encyc. 
Ned. Ind.+ they belong to the great complex race of the 
Behaus, which includes the Kajans and Modangs. 
Hollander§ mentions in ‘ Boven Kapoeas,’ on the Upper 
Kapuas and Ambalau, in the still imperfectly known 
north-east corner of the western division of Borneo, a 
number of independent tribes among which are the Malus 
and the Kajans who all belong to the main Pari tribe. 
Kessel speaks of the “Pari race” and the “Pari stem,” 
and gives a vocabulary of sixty-eight words. || 
5. Lawangan. 
Hamer H states that this language is spoken in the 
northern part of East Dusun, especially in the basin of the 
Karau and North-east Amuntai, also at the source of the 
Tabalong, and along the Tewe on the borders of Kutei. 
The exact locality of the language, of which he gives two 
hundred and thirty-four words, is not named. 
6. Siang. 
According to Hamer,** who gives a vocabulary of one 
* ‘ Woordenlyst ’ (Verhand. Bat. Genoots. 1872).
