Bukar-Sadong is the largest Bidayuh (Land Dayak) variety, spoken inland from Kuching in Sarawak’s Serian Division. Like other Bidayuhic languages it has a small phoneme inventory but a famously rich set of final glottal stops and nasal codas; the Bukar-Sadong orthography developed by the Bidayuh Language Development Project serves as the basis for the unified school Bidayuh.
