KOTA KINABALU: When speaking about Sabah, I am sure many of our friends from other states either don’t have much information about this land below the wind, or just minimal knowledge gathered from books and advertisements that mainly show its people dressed in ‘pre-historic’ attire.

Well, out of the vast issues and topics that we can talk about Sabah, I have decided to touch a little about language.Well, for countries that only have a few ethnic or tribes, maybe yes, but for Sabah and Malaysia as a whole, we are living in a multi-ethnic and multicultural country.

Here, how we pronounce words is exactly like how you read them. A is Ah, E is Err but with a silent r. The interest in Sabahan Malay actually grew some years ago, when a peninsula-based radio station decided to open up a segment for Sabahan songs. Though the frequency for his segment could only be heard in Sabah, many non-Sabahan Malaysians residing and working here could hear him talk and that actually caught the attention of many.
