The term Dayak is used for the languages of the Dayak people; that is, those languages of Borneo apart from varieties of Malay and language of Chinese, Indian, and European origin. According to recent (2008) classifications, they belong to two distinct branches of the Austronesian language family: the various groups of Bornean and Sabahan languages (including Land Dayak), and the Ibanic languages of the Malayic branch, distinguished as Malayan Dayak (Sea Dayak).
