THE LANGUAGES OF BORNEO. 
A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE BORNEO LANGUAGES. 
In the following pages I have endeavoured to give as 
complete a list as possible of all the extant material 
illustrating the Languages of Borneo. .General works on 
the island have only been included when some part refers 
to language, or has some bearing on the classification or 
distribution of the tribes. 
I have added the titles of books in the Malay language 
which have been published in Borneo and are presumably 
in Sarawak or Banjermasin Malay. Also there are added 
references to the much-discussed term “ Dayak.” 
Wherever possible, I have verified the entry by refe¬ 
rences to books in my own collection or in the British 
Museum Library. But some of the works recorded by Dr. 
Meyer were not available in England, and others are 
recorded only in the Bibliographies of Hensbroek and Yan 
der Chijs. 
The books are entered in chronological order. The 
number prefixed is that by which they are quoted in 
succeeding pages of this notice.
