Rejang is spoken by the Rejang people in Bengkulu, Indonesia. It is a Malayo-Polynesian language but has not been further classified. It has five major dialects. The language is quite different from the similarly named language group Rejang–Baram which is spoken on the island of Borneo in Sarawak and Kalimantan.
It is estimated that there are up to a million Rejang speakers.[1]
