Intro to Sarawakian language (Malaysia)

[north_malaysian]

I used to use web name "Pabiyen Sitok". People keep asking the meaning

Pabiyen means Baweanese. Bawean is one of the island in Indonesia near Java Island. My hubby's grandma was from Bawean Island

and Sitok means here in Sarawak Language

Baweanese = Orang Boyan

There are some Boyanese living in Penang... in fact 3 of them were my classmates in primary school. And their "northern dialect" sounds awful!
