First, let me introduce my country; Sarawak سراواك
Sarawak is one of the two Malaysian states on the island of Borneo. Known as Bumi Kenyalang ("Land of the Hornbills"), somehow quite known as Land of Head Hunters because of its ancient stories. Sarawak is the largest state in Malaysia. The administrative capital is Kuching (Cats City), the place where I'm staying right now.
Sarawak is home to 28 ethnic groups (i think it is more than that), each with their own distinct language, culture and lifestyle. The major ethnic of this land is Ibans, follow up by Chinese, Bidayuh, Melanau and Malays. Oh, btw my mom is Dayak Iban.
Sarawakians practice a variety of religions, including Islam, Christians, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and animism. Many converts to Christians among the Dayak people. My mom's was animism before she converted to Islam and married my dad (which is pure muslim of Mindanao).
*I'm less exposed to my dad cultures. I'm grew up among my Christians cousins. One of them has converted to Islam. Yet there, I'm thankful I'm born as a muslim.
I doubt if i can pronounce that word when someone ask yes or not,i definetly will say no yes it is funny and unimagine sis.I still remember when i heard my sarawakian friends was scolded by his mother,the sound was "kau kenaq kelak kau"

I went to Sarawak in 1994. Has been tortured for 2 weeks by my friends grandma. She continued speaking Sarawak without a single Malay word. So my friend's mum said "Auk ajalah". So whatever she said I will say "Auk nenek". Even when she asked "Kitak gi sine tadi tok?" I said "auk"
Kitak - you
gi - went
sine - where
tadi - just now
tok - this
