Brunei Malay is not spoken by 530,000 people in Brunei. This is ludicrous. There are only 430,000 people living in Brunei.

The Kedayan (also known as Kadayan, Kadaian or Kadyan)[1] are an ethnic group residing in Brunei, Labuan, Sabah, and parts of Sarawak on the island of Borneo.[2][3] The Kedayan language (ISO 639-3: kxd) bears a similarity to Brunei Malay, which is spoken by about 400,000 people in Brunei, 46,500 in Sabah and 37,000 in Sarawak.[4][5][6] In Sabah the Kedayan mainly live in the cities of Sipitang, Beaufort, Kuala Penyu and Papar.[4][7] In Sarawak the Kedayans mostly reside in Lawas, Limbang, Miri and the Subis area.[4] The Kedayan people are also regarded as a sub-ethnic group of the Klemantan Dayak people.[8]

History

A Kedayan man, standing underneath a rice barn.

The origins of the Kedayans are uncertain. Some of them believe their people were originally from Java,[2] which they left during the reign of Sultan Bolkiah. Because of his fame as a sea captain and voyager, the Sultan was well-known to the people of Java, Sumatra and the Philippines.[2] It is believed that when the Sultan arrived to the island of Java, he became interested in the local agricultural techniques.[2] He brought some of the Javanese farmers back to his country to spread their techniques. The farmers inter-married with the local Bruneian Malay people, giving birth to the Kedayan ethnicity.[2] Most Kedayans have adopted Islam since the Islamic era of the Sultanate of Brunei. They have also adopted Malay culture.[6] The Kedayans are recognized as one of the indigenous people of Borneo.[9] They are experts in making traditional medicines. The Kedayans are well known for their cultivation of medicinal plants, which they grow to treat a wide range of ailments and to make tonics.[4]

The language of one of the indigenous tribes, the Banjar people in Kutai, East Kalimantan, Indonesia, is said to share more than 90% of the vocabulary with the Kedayan language, despite the fact that the Banjarese do not refer to themselves as Kedayans.[citation needed] Both the Kedayans and the Banjarese are related, to a certain extent, because of the similarities in their languages.[10]
