The Malayic languages are a branch of the Austronesian family. They include Malay, the national language of Malaysia, Brunei, and Indonesia; Minangkabau in central Sumatra; and Iban in northern Borneo. It is thought that the homeland of the Malayic languages is in western Borneo, where the Ibanic languages remain. The Malayan branch represents a secondary dispersal, probably from central Sumatra but possibly also from Borneo.〔''The Austronesians: historical and comparative perspectives.''

The Malayic Dayak languages include Iban; the term Ibanic sometimes applies to the whole or sometimes to a smaller group of Sea Dayak peoples, or Ibanic proper. Other Dayak languages, called Land Dayak, are found in the northwest corner of Kalimantan, between Ibanic and Malayan. ==Languages== *Malayan languages (Minangkabau, Malay) *Ibanic languages, or Malayic Dayak (Iban and related tongues) *Urak Lawoi’ Several of the Ibanic languages are also sometimes placed separately in Malayic. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Malayic languages」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
